Romania Hosts 25th Edition of NATO Maritime Exercise Sea Breeze

On June 9, NATO Allies and partners kicked off the 25th iteration of the maritime exercise Sea Breeze in Braila, Romania. The exercise brings together NATO allies and partners to conduct maritime, air, and land command and control and security operations with an emphasis on mine countermeasure and dive operation mission areas, the U.S. Embassy in Romania said in a release.

Sea Breeze is an annual, multinational maritime exercise led by the U.S. Sixth Fleet to enhance interoperability and capabilities among participating forces. Sea Breeze 2025-1 is hosted by the Romanian Armed Forces at Smardan Range until June 20. The exercise includes a series of joint training events, live fire ranges, and culminates with a final integrated exercise which simulates an amphibious raid in the Black Sea region. This is the first time since 2021 that amphibious operations are incorporated into Sea Breeze.

"Exercises such as Sea Breeze improve communication and cooperation between the United States and Romania, as well as all our NATO Allies and partners, readying our forces to respond to emerging threats. That kind of unity - on land and sea - is what keeps the NATO alliance strong and our nations secure," U.S. Chargé d'affaires Michael Dickerson said.
