crisis situation. A total of around 2,000 soldiers from nine different
countries are taking part in the maneuvers, which will carry on until Monday.

Lielvarde airport, located about 60 km from Latvia’s capital, Riga.

protect them. Certainly on top of this we send a clear message to everyone who
wants to threaten NATO, that it’s not a thing you should do. NATO will always
defend and protect its people,” General Hans-Lothar Domrose, commander of the
NATO military command in Brunssum, Netherlands, told reporters.

Selepas 10 tahun memberi penekanan kepada aktiviti
ketenteraan di Afghanistan, perikatan itu kini kembali memberi tumpuan kepada
apa yang ia merujuk kepada sebagai pertahanan daripada ahli-ahlinya.
The exercises in Latvia will be followed by other
drills in Germany, Norway, Ukraine, and Poland later this autumn.
Steadfast Javelin 2 was reinforced by a NATO
summit in Wales, where the bloc officially announced it was creating a new
rapid reaction force. The spearhead of any such force would consist of
4,000-5,000 troops who would be able to deploy to any NATO member country
within 48 hours.
“It needs to be a relatively light force. It needs
to be a force that succeeds, builds upon intelligence and agility, and
precision as opposed to weight of military force. It is an agile, precise,
intelligence-led rapidly deployable force,” Lieutenant General Ed Davis, NATO
deputy land commander, told Reuters.
