MILEX26: Who would be foolish enough to take on 60 tons of steel, when you see the ease with which the tank is handled by its highly trained crew?

Artillery is more than just firepower — it’s one of the key systems that helps shape the battlefield. From supporting troops at long range to providing precision strikes, artillery has played a major role in military operations for centuries and continues to evolve with modern technology.

An army marches on its stomach. And that is why there is no downtime in the kitchen during MILEX26 either, yummy, yummy.

Eurocorps on MILEX26: Even when working in the background, what you do makes a difference. Military success depends on the combined effort of many individuals. Small tasks, performed with professionalism and attention to detail, often have a meaningful impact on the outcome of a mission.

What is MILEX26? Since 2025, the EU has a Rapid Deployment Capacity (RDC), allowing for the swift deployment of a modular force of up to 5,000 troops in a non-permissive environment. In order to stay effective and even improve, the EU conducts a series of Military Exercises (MILEX) that focus on the planning, preparation and ex*****on of a swift deployment of the EU RDC to an external crisis.
