Swift Response 23 is one of three major exercises that make up the Dynamic Employment of Forces to Europe for NATO Deterrence and Enhanced Readiness 2023 or DEFENDER across the Baltic Sea and Mediterranean regions.
Swift Response is designed to ensure combat credible forces are ready and postured in theater to respond to any threats against NATO Allies partners. Swift Response 23 features the Spanish airborne brigade, Brigada Paracaidista, leading three near-simultaneous airborne operations in Estonia, Greece and Spain. After the successful seizure of objectives, host nation-partnered live fire training will take place.
