The North Atlantic Alliance plans to hold large-scale military exercises involving thousands of troops in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States.
This was stated by General Hans-Lothar Domrose, Commander of Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum, TASS reported.
“Previously, we conducted maneuvers involving 25,000-40,000 soldiers in the western NATO countries alone, and I can imagine that in the future we will also organize a similar event in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States,” the Die Welt newspaper quoted Domrose as saying.
He said that the alliance was creating rapid reaction forces numbering 5,000-7,000 troops that can reach the combat area within two to five days.
The action plan on increasing NATO combat capabilities was approved at a summit in Wales on September 5 this year.
