European HIMARS Initiative (EHI) VIII culminated with a Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise (CALFEX) between U.S. Soldiers and NATO Allies in support of the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative.

The event demonstrated lethal, multinational synchronization of long-range precision fires, aviation assets, and maneuver forces to strengthen interoperability and showcase V Corps’ ability to provide commanders with multiple battlefield options in a dynamic operational environment. The exercise reinforced NATO Allies’ ability to shoot, move, and communicate as one force while enhancing collective lethality, readiness, and deterrence across NATO’s Eastern Flank.
