Adazi Base in Latvia hosted the Transfer of Command and Authority ceremony (TOCA) within NATO's Battle Group deployed to Latvia, as part of the enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) mission. The handover took place between outgoing Task Force Beast and incoming Task Force Wolverine, both of them commanded by a Canadian Lieutenant Colonel as Battle Group's Host Nation.

Within the large deployment of resources from the different nationalities that make up the Battle Group, the contingent of the 'Aragon I' Brigade (eFP VIII) displayed 'Leopard' tanks and sapper vehicles. Incoming Battle Group's Deputy Commander, is a Spanish Officer and he also attended the TOCA ceremony.
