The exercise has been carried out in Burgos, Zaragoza, Chinchilla (Albacete), Alicante, Palma de Mallorca and the Canary Islands, directed by the "San Marcial" Division Headquarters. Military from other countries have taken part in these maneuvers, specifically two helicopters and eleven French soldiers, integrated into the Air Assault Group, a French analyst in the Division Command Post and five observers from the United States, in the Logistics Unit.

The Spanish Army has today published a spectacular video of these maneuvers, in which we see troops from its Airmobile Forces (FAMET), with EC-665 Tigre, CH-47 Chinook, NH-90 Cayman and AS-532 Cougar helicopters, as well as personnel, vehicles and artillery of the 6th 'Almogávares' Brigade of Paratroopers (BRIPAC):
