These maneuvers are set to continue until the end of the week, culminating in live-fire exercises.
According to Colonel Dariusz Guzenda, spokesperson for the Multinational Division Northeast, the exercises aim to enhance cooperation among allied forces, troop redeployment, and coordination in a multinational setting.
During the drills, participating units will engage in various combat scenarios, with the final phase featuring the use of live ammunition. The exercises include contributions from Polish and U.S. military units, notably the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army, alongside other NATO allies.
