Steadfast Dual: Scripting Workshop
For the second consecutive year, NATO Space COE staff members from the Education & Training section led the OPFOR Space team during the Scripting Workshop in July, preparing the scenario for Steadfast Dual 25, the biggest yearly multi-domain NATO Command Post Exercise.
Three Team members, reinforced by one Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC) Space & Cyber specialist, were deployed between 22 June and 4 July in the NATO Joint Warfare Centre, Stavanger, Norway.
They were tasked to prepare the NATO Opposition Manoeuvres (OPFOR) in Space. This mostly consists in preparing “injects”, Red actions to trigger responses and processes within the Training Audience (NATO Strategic and Operational Headquarters) during the Exercise
The Execution phase will be held in November 2025. The in-depth knowledge of potential adversary weapons, tactics, and procedures in the space domain provided by the NATO Space COE and JAPCC members is a highly valued contribution that enhances both the realism and effectiveness of the Exercise, ultimately supporting NATO overall space preparedness.
