Exercise STEADFAST DART (STDT25) is the principal NATO exercise for 2025 and the first large-scale deployment of the NATO Allied Reaction Force (ARF). The exercise tested and trained the operational deployment of the ARF to NATO Vigilance Area South-East, focusing on the planning and execution of a pre-crisis multi-domain activity that aimed to reinforce the Allied forces located in Romania and Bulgaria. Throughout January and February 2025, personnel and equipment from Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Türkiye and the United Kingdom have manoeuvred to NATO’s eastern flank via road, sea and air. This included over 17 naval assets, 20 aircraft, 1,500 military vehicles and 10,000 personnel – making it the largest NATO exercise of 2025. Exercise STEADFAST DART showed NATO’s commitment to making the Alliance stronger and better able to deter and, if necessary, defence against any potential adversary in any domain, and at any time.
