BEMOWO PISKIE, Poland — A multinational group consisting of Romanians, Croatians, British, and Americans conducted a deployment readiness exercise called “Rifle Ready,” at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland on July 1, 2021.
NATO deployment readiness exercises, like Rifle Ready, test the alliance’s speed of response in preparation for collective defense if necessary.
“Our purpose is to respond rapidly to any crisis,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Craig Broyles, commander of U.S.-led enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Poland. “That takes constant practice.”
The Battle Group received an alert, marshalled and deployed to a scenario objective, employing the Battle Group’s reconnaissance, anti-aircraft and infantry assets.
Collective defense remains the alliance’s greatest responsibility and deterrence is a core element of NATO’s overall strategy.
“Being a part of this multinational Battle Group is an amazing opportunity,” said Romanian Land Forces Maj. Mircea Zemtev, commander of Sky Guardians. “Day by day we learn how to train better with our allies.”
This is NATO’s effort to create a harmonious, collective group with incredible resolve and flexibility to react to any sort of aggression on a partner nation. Romania, Croatia and Britain have been very crucial to the mission.
“They’re excellent at what they do,” said Broyles. “I look forward to doing these exercises to get faster, and stronger together.”
