  Dubbed ‘Trident Juncture’, the drills will begin at an airbase in Sicily and will continue on Italian, Spanish and Portuguese territory. The three-week live exercise follows a staff training program that began earlier this month. The exercise is to test out a 5-thousand strong spearhead force that can deploy in less than a week. Nearly 36-thousand soldiers and civilians from nearly 30 countries, including non-NATO member Ukraine, the European Union and the African Union, are expected to take part in the drills. NATO officials have rejected suggestions that the exercise is directed against Russia.
