The maneuvers involve military from the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and the United States. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the country. It is noted that the coordination will last for three weeks.
The military will practice an attack by an unnamed enemy on a NATO state. "Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes everyone look facts in the eye: security and freedom cannot be taken for granted. Therefore, it is important to be able to respond quickly.
Deployment, relocation and creation of a military camp are things that will be worked out," the Dutch Ministry of Defense said.
