From 4th to 15th February the NATO HQ NRDC-ESP based in Bétera (Valencia), has transferred 20 soldiers to participate in the 'Common Tenacity 19' exercise, which has served as training and preparation towards the certification of the Bétera HQ to lead a Land Heavy Small Joint Operation, being evaluated in the 'Trident Jackal 19' exercise at the end of 2019.
