Mike Penning

JOINT WARRIOR is a bi-annual UK exercise aimed at providing collective maritime-focused training to UK and international navy, air and land forces with invited participation from NATO and other nations. The planning and delivery of this year’s exercises involved assets and personnel from the Turkish Armed Forces.

Turkey has routinely contributed assets and personnel in previous JOINT WARRIOR exercises and this year is no different.
