More than 9,000 US and allied service members are taking part in the Northern Strike military exercise in Grayling, Michigan, designed to prepare troops for an evolving modern battlefield. The training reflects efforts by the US military to adapt tactics and equipment to changing combat conditions, with tanks and other armour firing across the training grounds as part of the drills.

The exercise brings together thousands of personnel from the United States and allied nations at the Michigan facility, though the article does not detail the specific countries involved, the exact dates of the exercise, or the precise capabilities being tested. It notes that the drills are intended to ensure forces remain ready for the type of warfare they may face in future conflicts.
