U.S. Special Operations Forces took part in Swedish Exercise Aurora 2017 from September 11 to September 29. The exercise delivered a robust and realistic training experience, while bonds continued to strengthen between U.S. and Nordic partner and Allied SOF.
Aurora was a Swedish exercise designed to increase the national and joint military capabilities necessary to protect their homeland. The exercise, the largest for Sweden in 23 years, included over 19,000 Swedish personnel along with an estimated 1500 personnel from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, and the United States. Not only was it the largest exercise for Sweden in 23 years, but it was also the first time in 20 years that Sweden’s parliament exercised its wartime powers.
