Their Norwegian colleagues from the Telemark Battalion, serving in the German-led eFP Battlegroup in Lithuania, recently conducted exercise ‘Urban Berserker’ in Panevezys military training area in Northern Lithuania, together with their partners from the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Military operations in urban terrain increase the complexity of their military skills and are equally important to train for as operations in a rural environment. The Telemark Battalion is a renowned mechanised infantry unit of the Norwegian Army that also frequently deploys to NATO missions abroad.
Soldiers from the British Light Dragoons, assigned to the US-led NATO eFP Battlegroup in Poland, have recently brought leading-edge reconnaissance technologies in support of their mission in the Baltic Sea region. The Light Dragoons are a light cavalry regiment with a history in the reconnaissance role. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV, aka drones) used by the British soldiers in Poland and Estonia are vital for providing eFP forces with high-tempo intelligence and thus enhancing their defensive capabilities.
