All 5 Gripen Operating countries will be taking part in the joint exercise. 2 Squadron will be taking 4 Gripen C's to Sweden for these operations. 60 Squadron will be transporting ground crew and limited equipment to Sweden with a 60 Squadron Boeing 707. The Boeing 707 will also be supplying in flight refueling assistance to the Gripen on the route to Sweden.
