The training involved NATO units practising movement, overcoming obstacles with bridge-layers, and executing defensive tasks. The final phase of the exercise included a Level 5 live fire event, where Leopard 2 battle tanks, Puma IFVs, and PzH 2000 self-propelled artillery systems engaged stationary and moving targets, simulating realistic battlefield conditions.
Senior military officials from the Lithuanian Armed Forces, along with unit commanders, senior enlisted leaders, ambassadors, and military representatives from MN BG LTU contributing nations, attended the event. The exercise provided an opportunity for sharing best practices and enhancing operational coordination among NATO forces stationed in Lithuania.
MN BG LTU is integrated into the Lithuanian Infantry Brigade Iron Wolf and consists of approximately 1,600 troops from Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Croatia, the Netherlands, Norway, and Luxembourg. The battle group follows an intensive combat readiness cycle and takes part in major exercises in Lithuania to strengthen interoperability with the Lithuanian Armed Forces and other NATO units deployed in the country.
