Multinational Division South held its first Plenary Meeting since its establishment in 2025, bringing together representatives from all participating Allied nations to agree proposals on key changes to the Headquarters’ future organisational framework.

Exercise “WOLF 26” is complete.

From Florence to Fort Monte Tesoro, near Verona, Multinational Division South put its command and control to the test in a very demanding environment.

Deploying the Forward Command Post and the Land Liaison & Reconnaissance Team, supported from Florence through reach-back procedures, the exercise challenged the personnel in a conventional, high-intensity scenario involving drones threats, electronic warfare, deception planning, force protection and command post survivability.

With key enablers including signals, logistics, air defence and counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) capabilities and integrated surveillance systems, “WOLF 26” strengthened MND-S readiness, responsiveness and ability to operate where it matters most.

Today, Multinational Division South joins its French personnel in celebrating France’s National Day.

Celebrated on 14 July, the day recalls two symbolic moments of the French Revolution: the Storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération (the Federation day) in 1790. Together, they remain powerful symbols of national unity and the enduring bond between the French people and the Republic.

At MND-S, we value the professionalism, dedication and contribution of our French colleagues, whose service strengthens our multinational cohesion, interoperability and shared commitment to NATO’s collective defence.

Bonne Fête nationale!

During Exercise "WOLF 26", Multinational Division South (MND-S) personnel welcomed architect Fiorenzo Meneghelli to Fort Monte Tesoro.

Having curated the Fort’s restoration and historical recovery, architect Meneghelli offered a rare insight into one of the most remarkable fortified sites in the Alpine arc.

Built in the early twentieth century and extending over more than 15 hectares, the fort was conceived as an advanced armoured infrastructure: arranged across three levels, surrounded by a defensive ditch and equipped with electric lighting, air ducts, telegraph and telephone systems, an observation post and forced air circulation. Designed for around 250 soldiers, it integrated protection, communications and firepower through a mechanised system of retractable machine-gun positions and artillery wells for heavy guns, capable of 360-degree rotation and crossfire with neighbouring forts.

For MND-S personnel, the visit brought history to life, linking armoured architecture, military engineering and local heritage to the readiness tested during "WOLF 26".

Our sincere thanks to architect Fiorenzo Meneghelli for sharing his knowledge, passion and expertise.

Exercise "WOLF 26" continues, training on grounds shaped by history.
