The 10th Mountain Division (LI) hosted Summit Strike 2024, Nov. 19-21, with the intent to seamlessly integrate fires; intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR); and multi-domain operations (MDO) assets by partnering with other countries, military branches, and multiple industry partners to defeat adversaries, while showcasing Fort Drum as the premier training and force development hub in the Northeast.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our sacred obligation to fight and win our nation\u2019s wars,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Scott Naumann, the 10th Mountain Division (LI) and Fort Drum commander. \u201cSummit Strike provides the 10th Mountain Division the opportunity to hone the skills our warfighters need to accomplish this. Through this multi-domain training exercise, we are able to learn, refine requirements, and develop innovative solutions to fight a near-peer enemy with successive iterations of live, multi-domain training.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of training, partnered with facility improvements, deepening institutional knowledge from our deployments, and ever-strengthening partnerships in the region, positions the division to continue leading transformation initiatives to build warfighting readiness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The exercise involved live-fire training, with emitters simulating enemy artillery and weapon systems placed throughout the Fort Drum training area. The Joint Air Ground Integration Center (JAGIC), then coordinated attacks on these targets using various weapon systems, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), AH-64 Apache helicopters, A-10 Warthogs, and Mobile-Low, Slow, Small-Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat Systems (M-LIDS).<\/p>\n

Summit Strike \u201924 validated the division\u2019s ability to integrate surface-to-surface, rotary-wing, and fixed-wing weapon systems, enhancing its lethality. The exercise also incorporated emerging military electronic systems technology to build resilient kill webs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHere, in these types of exercises, replicating real-world, large-scale combat operations, we are coordinating, synchronizing, and employing effects both lethal and non-lethal,\u201d said Maj. Mark Smerka, 10th Mountain Division Artillery operations officer.<\/p>\n

Owners of an 80-year-old legacy, born in the battle of Riva Ridge in Italy, the 10th Mountain Division remains at the forefront of modern warfare. The division is dedicated to adapting to the ever-evolving battlefield, embracing innovation, and staying ahead of potential threats, in line with the unit\u2019s history as they face the future of warfighting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future fight that we\u2019re looking at in a near-peer environment is going to be bigger, faster, require more assets and more technology than we\u2019ve been using in the past,\u201d said Maj. Sean Thomas, 10th Mountain Division JAGIC chief. \u201cWe\u2019re embracing a lot of that in this exercise, testing it out and getting comfortable using it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exercise involved more than 400 service members from Fort Drum, with additional support from both U.S. and international military members. By fostering these partnerships within the Army and Department of Defense, Summit Strike \u201924 provided MDO training on Fort Drum and allowed for the development of shared systems to enhance warfighting capabilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t fight alone in any future operation, whether that\u2019s multi-branch or multi-nation,\u201d said Capt. Maddie Crimmins, commander of C Battery, 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, 18th Field Artillery Brigade, located at Fort Liberty, N.C. \u201cHere we are executing multi-platform as well as multi-domain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summit Strike \u201924 provided a demonstration of the division\u2019s ability to coordinate and execute an MDO live-fire exercise. The exercise highlighted the unique training opportunities offered by Fort Drum in a low-threat environment for Soldiers to train for MDO threats in a contested environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummit Strike is really the first of its kind where you have a division creating an MDO environment at home station to make sure we are trained proficiently so that we can win the Army\u2019s future wars,\u201d said Capt. Sean Thorpe, 10th Mountain Division cyberspace and electromagnetic activities officer in charge.<\/p>\n

Summit Strike \u201924 solidified Fort Drum\u2019s position as the premier training and force development hub in the Northeast, showcasing its ability to integrate emerging technology and systems into range operations. The exercise also highlighted the division\u2019s commitment to partnering with industry to enhance MDO training capabilities at Fort Drum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned that the 10th Mountain Division is able to conduct multi-domain operations, especially here at home station,\u201d said Maj. Michael Spickard 10th Mountain Division assistant chief of fires, and lead planner for Summit Strike \u201924. \u201cWe are more prepared in the future to make this exercise grow for Summit Strike \u201925.\u201d<\/p>\n
