- UK-Led NATO Exercise Strike Warrior continues across Scotland, involving more than 2,000 personnel from six nations rehearsing submarine landings and naval gunfire. The drills conclude on Friday.
- According to the Royal Navy, the exercise represents the "largest test of all arms of the UK Commando Force in 15 years," focusing on rehearsing allied crisis response in the High North and North Atlantic.
- Army commandos from 148 Battery deployed from a German submarine to establish observation posts, subsequently directing naval gunfire from the Portuguese warship NRP Dom Francisco de Almeida onto simulated enemy positions.
- Operating as the land element of a NATO maritime group, the Commando Force demonstrates a new model, with this live asset integration reaching complexity not seen by the unit for nearly 30 years.
- Future strategy for the Commando Force emphasizes dispersed operations and coordinating firepower from allied forces across considerable distances. These drills prepare units to operate alongside allied submarines, warships, and command systems.
