Members of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, 16 Air Assault Brigade, Joint Force Command-Naples, and various other elements of NATO forces came together for Exercise Noble Ledger to certify that the ARRC is capable and ready to assume command of the NATO Response Force mission throughout 2013. Taking command of the NRF means that the ARRC will be rapidly deployable and could deploy worldwide is support of combat or humanitarian relief efforts. (Photo by British Army Sgt. Chris Hargreaves)
