Orion: Großübung
(29.03.2021)
Der Economist berichtet über das Manöver Orion, mit dem Frankreich berstmals seit Langem wieder einen Großkrieg probt: „Planned for 2023, Exercise Orion is a full-scale divisional exercise that will last several days, based probably out of camps at Suippes, Mailly, and Mourmelon. It will involve the full range of French military capacity on a scale not tested for decades. The drill will include command-post exercises, hybrid scenarios, simulation and live-fire drills. Around 10,000 soldiers could take part, as well as the air force and, in a separate maritime sequence, the navy. Belgian, British and American forces may join in.“ (jw)
