When it is, the Alliance will be able to deploy up to 25,000 troops within five days anywhere in the world responding to humanitarian relief to major combat operations. Most NATO countries and about 7,000 sailors, soldiers and airmen are participating in the exercise until June 28. (Photo by MSgt Ron Przysucha)
