Combined Resolve 25-1 is a "significant investment in strengthening the cohesion of the Nato alliance and the overall readiness of Allies and partners in a dynamic security environment", said the US.

These types of exercises are routinely conducted by the US military forces in Europe with allied and partner nations to enhance interoperability.

TiC is intended to help army units stay agile in a fast-changing battlefield environment.
