During four days, the ‘Titan Forge’ exercise took place at the Camp Adazi training area and had as its main aim to further defence capabilities of the NATO forces deployed in Latvia.

During this exercise in the training area of the Adazi Military Base, different procedures to be applied in alert states through which the Unit should go in the event of an emergency (ALERTEX) have been put into practice: reception at assembly areas, breaking barriers and river-crossing drills with the Spanish ‘Dornier’ forefront support bridge.

In the final part of the exercise, numerous echelon tactical crossings to the frontal and rear attack positions were successfully completed.
