The Planner

Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Horny is leading the exercise planning team and makes sure that everything is set for a successful execution phase. "This Steadfast Foxtrot team is outstanding; every single team member is highly motivated and focused to deliver. Creating something new, an exercise NATO has never seen before and working so close with all Allies makes it all worth it", the army officer says. And what does he think about the fox in our STFX24 logo? "The fox is often described as a clever animal. I like the logo - it fits!"

The RLS Manager

In three words Commander Lars Hirland, one of two deputy responsible officers of STFX24, would describe the wargame as “unique, necessary and valuable." 

Everyone of the team is highly motivated and it is great to see the will to get things done

Mastering all matters regarding real life support for the exercise, Lars ensures that before and most importantly during execution everything runs smoothly: "Everyone of the team is highly motivated and it is great to see the will to get things done." 

And what is he most looking forward to during STFX24, which is starting on 11 September? "To interact will all the exercise participants from 24 NATO nations and fellow HQ and units. To see them share their experience and connect with each other is one of the many great things about STFX24. It is so important to see the NATO family standing together."

The Supporter

Warrant Officer Class One Henry Sanday (British Army) ensures that the responsible officer and core team for exercise STFX24 are best supported.
