Zitat:NATO CONDUCTS MULTINATIONAL JOINT TRAINING IN BALTIC SEA

BALTIC SEA -- Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1) is conducting training with Latvian armed forces and enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) battle groups in the Baltic Sea. The training began with a port visit in Riga, Latvia, Oct. 28-31 and continued at and from sea to increase understanding between the multinational joint forces.

During the port visit, members from the Canadian-led eFP battlegroup invited crewmembers to witness a firepower demonstration at the Adazi Range in Latvia. In return, representatives from the battlegroup embarked SNMG1 ships to learn about maritime operations. SNMG1 staff provided soldiers with a maritime capability brief and information was exchanged to increase understanding between the naval and land forces. [...]

On Oct. 31 SNMG1 conducted asymmetric warfare exercises with the Latvian Navy. The ships conducted small arms firing drills, while a Latvian patrol boat simulated an attacking unit. On Nov. 1 the Task Group conducted a Naval Fire Support exercise with Latvian Forces on the Skede Firing range. This exercise offered a good training opportunity for both Latvian Forces as well as SNMG1 units. [...] Currently, SNMG1 comprises flagship Royal Netherlands Navy HNLMS Tromp (F803), Royal Norwegian Navy HNoMS Maud (A530), and Royal Danish Navy HDMS Esbern Snare (F342). After the port visit Royal Norwegian Navy HNoMS Roald Amundsen (F311) left the group after two months of deployment.
