7th ARMY TRAINING COMMAND

GRAFENWOEHR, GERMANY

 

7ATC Hosts Combined Resolve to Enable Readiness for 1st ABCT ‘Devils’              

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany – Combined Resolve will be held at 7th Army Training Command's Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany, Feb. 3-28, 2026.

More than 3,400 personnel will participate in iteration of the Combined Resolve exercise series, which is a reoccurring U.S. Army Europe and Africa exercise held several times throughout the year for its rotationally deployed troops.

“Joint Multinational Readiness Center’s combat training center rotations empower Soldiers to experience and fight through a realistic threat scenario, while also enduring the realistic weather and terrain challenges at Hohenfels,” said Brig. Gen. Terry Tillis, commanding general, 7th Army Training Command. “Combined arms training exercises, like the annual Combined Resolve series, are executed to validate training objectives for U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s rotationally deployed units alongside permanently stationed U.S. Army troops in the European theater.

“Soldiers depart the Hohenfels Training Area with increased combat readiness, improved collective tactical and technical skills, while incorporating new technology alongside time-tested warfighting capabilities, to increase readiness across the U.S. Army,” Tillis said.

The primary training audience for this rotation is the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, “Devils”, 1st Infantry Division. The 1/1 ID is based in Fort Riley, Kansas and will execute this combat training center rotation to build unit readiness, train and assess 1/1 ID operations, and present a combat credible U.S. Army force.

JMRC is the premiere combat training center location for U.S Army units to continue transformation objectives and conduct the Lethality Evaluation Program, while training in an environment informed by NATO and Partner for Peace nations, to ensure Soldiers’ warfighting and lethality skills are interoperable and ready.
