France’s ORION 26 exercise, a multinational training initiative, aims to prepare forces for high‑intensity warfare by simulating hybrid and full‑spectrum conflict across land, cyber, information, and space domains. The final phase, Operations within NATO, deploys the 1st Army Corps as a Warfighting Corps, combining command‑post and live land‑operations exercises to test its capacity for multi‑domain operations. The exercise underscores France’s commitment to protecting its territory and stresses command‑and‑control interoperability. Media accreditation is available for three Media Days—April 7 in Mailly, April 11 in Poitiers, April 23 in Chaumont—though dates may shift. Applicants must submit schedules, identify up to two participants per outlet with name, email, phone, a scanned ID, and press credentials by Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Contact offices include the Interarmy Command Expert Center, Army Information and Public Relations Service, Air and Space Force Information and Public Relations Service, and the French Ministry for Armed Forces and Veterans.
