Autumn Group Exercise (GroupEx) - Joint Warrior (JW202)
Counting down to the UK Carrier Strike Group 2021 deployment


In May 2021 the UK Carrier Strike Group will set sail on its first operational deployment. Here we look at the programme for the next 10 months to prepare the many participants involved in this landmark for UK defence capability.

Autumn rehearsal
After returning from two months at sea in early July, HMS Queen Elizabeth will spend the Summer alongside in Portsmouth preparing for an Autumn Group Exercise (GroupEx) which will be part of the Joint Warrior (JW202) construct. The Joint Warrior exercises are usually run twice each year in March-April and September-October off the West coast of Scotland. (There was no JW in April 2020). The GroupEx will also see a bigger surface escort group join the UKCSG and will include Dutch and US warships.

The September GroupEx will be a big step-up in complexity from the modest scale of the recent exercise Crimson Ocean, consisting of 10 days of work-up, followed by two weeks of ‘free play’ in combat scenarios. The plan is to have an air group consisting of 5 UK and 10 USMC F-35 jets, plus 6 Merlin helicopters. With 15 jets on board, this will be the largest embarkation of F-35s afloat in the world so far.
