The mission in Germany would streamline a training and assistance system that the United States and its allies created on the fly after Russia’s invasion, officials said.
43 (STUTTGART) U.S. Naval Special Warfare Operators deployed to Croatia, Germany, Hungary, and Romania for two special operations forces exercises, May 3-14, 2021.
Trojan Footprint 21, the premier annual SOF exercise led by Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR), utilized SEAL and Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC) teams in Romania and the Black Sea to conduct various training with SOF units from Georgia, Spain, and Romania.
“We appreciate the opportunity to train with a diverse group in a strategic location,” said a U.S. Navy SEAL commander present for the exercise. “Our objectives throughout Trojan Footprint are especially useful for the countries located on the Black Sea, and it also helps to standardize training for NATO partners and allies if they are called to support the region.”
