Romania Conducts CETATEA-26 Cyber Defense Exercise with U.S. Participation
From October 12 to 23, Romania’s Cyber Defence Command conducted the CETATEA-26 exercise in Bucharest. This exercise involved military participants from Romania, the United States, and the Republic of Moldova. The primary objective was to test command-and-control software applications, alongside communications, information technology, and cyber-defense systems and services. The exercise simulated a federated working environment, incorporating both static and deployable settings. Participants engaged in scenarios requiring information analysis, risk assessment, and decision-making under time pressure, while coordinating between national and international structures. The exercise aimed to assess the operational value of command applications, the interfaces between applications, communication services, and cyber protection, and the ability to operate across various configurations for effective information exchange and command picture maintenance.
