Media support for major NATO exercise
Crown Media is proud to have supported key NATO exercise Loyal Leda 2024 which was held to certify Rapid Reaction Corps France as a Warfighting Corps. With a team of 11 journalists based in France and Poland, we created an incredibly realistic media wrap for the exercise, using TV news, online news, and social media.
RRC-FR: In the context of NATO exercise LOYAL LEDA 24, the headquarters of the Rapid Reaction Corps – France (HQ RRC-FR) is taking the lead of a multinational Warfighting Corps composed of a French division (1re Division), a multinational division under Italian command (MND-South), a Spanish division, and multinational support elements. More than 1500 military personnels of the French army and allied nations are deployed in the region of Champagne and in Poland, within the NATO Joint Force Training Centre, from the 5th to 15th of March.
The HQ RRC-FR is ready to be deployed quickly to respond to international crises as a Warfighting Corps, assembling multiple units. These habe been trained to carry out high intensity combat operations in demanding multi-domain environnments.
For this occasion, the HQ RRC-FR will be evaluated by NATO LANDCOM HQ. This event demonstartes once again the preparation of our armed forces, aiming to strengthen the collective defence of the European continent in the context of the Atlantic Alliance.
➡ The Warfighting Corps: Preparation and versatility
The Warfighting Corps is conceived to carry out operations in all aspects of military engagements, from peace-keeping operations to high intensity conflicts. Preparation and versatility are the master words, with a continuous training of personnel and regular exercises that ensure that units and headquarters are ready to face any outcome.
➡LOYAL LEDA: A realistic combat test
LOYAL LEDA is a large scale NATO certification exercise that simulates the complex challenges of modern battlefields. During this exercise, the Warfighting Corps will be faced with a series of events conceived to test its reaction speed, resilience and ability to maintain an operational advantage in situations of intense stress.
➡The importance of interoperability:
LOYAL LEDA aims to reinforce interoperability between the units of different Nations. The exercise highlights the importance of different domains such as communication systems, and the indispensable need for coordination between the land, air, maritime, cyber and space components. LOYAL LEDA is an ideal platform to test many processes and reinforce the military competencies for all personnel involved.
➡Lessons learned and future perspectives:
Each exercise is a learning opportunity. LOYAL LEDA is no exception. Therefore, feedback will be analysed to adapt tactics, techniques, procedures, and doctrine.
