7th ARMY TRAINING COMMAND
GRAFENWOEHR, GERMANY
7ATC Hosts Combined Resolve for 2/101 'Strike' to Test Continuous Transformation Efforts
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany – Combined Resolve 26-1 is a reoccurring U.S. Army Europe and Africa exercise for its rotationally deployed troops. More than 3,400 personnel will participate in this exercise at 7th Army Training Command's Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany from Oct. 4 to Nov. 2, 2025.
The primary training audience for this rotation is 2nd Brigade "Strike", 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) following their transition to a Mobile Brigade Combat Team. The 2/101st is based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and will execute this combat training center rotation to assess and stress the new MBCT formation during the unit's second CTC rotation since the formation change. The first rotation was to the Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, Louisiana, in 2024.
“Hard training is the crucible where we forge the future of operational excellence,” said Col. Duke Reim, 2/101st commander. “Through relentless repetition and unwavering commitment, we embed the principles of the transformation initiative into every maneuver, ensuring innovation becomes second nature at the critical moment.
“Our Combined Resolve rotation is designed to instill decisive tactics as instinct, empowering our teams to push to the forward edge of freedom when called,” he said. “Victory is not merely a goal—it is the inevitable outcome of our readiness and resolve.”
7ATC ensures rotational units deployed to Europe return to the Army more ready for Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). JMRC is the premiere combat training center location for units to continue transformation objectives in diverse terrain and weather to improve warfighting and lethality skills that are interoperable and ready.
“Collective training in Europe increases warfighting readiness and ensures U.S., Allied and partner forces remain postured to defend against any global threat,” said Brig. Gen. Terry Tillis, 7ATC commanding general.
JMRC’s CTC scenarios are shaped by frontline lessons from ongoing LSCO in theater – the only LSCO in the world today and occurring in this theater.
