<p>When determining the Royal Navy's exercise programme it was identified that there
were several training opportunities that coincided with the Joint Warrior exercise
programmed for the autumn of 2018. In addition to the multinational Joint Expeditionary
Force exercise designed to enhance the UK's ability to respond rapidly anywhere in
the world, the Royal Navy has now committed to two major international military exercises
with significant UK involvement. These exercises will combine all the training requirement
that a second Joint Warrior would have delivered. The exercises are SAIF SAREEA 3
- the biggest UK-Omani exercise to be held in the last 15 years - and TRIDENT JUNCTURE
2018 - a NATO exercise held every three years and hosted in Norway in 2018.</p><p>There
is therefore no requirement for the second Joint Warrior Exercise in 2018.</p>
