Military personnel from NATO conducting exercises near the city of Ventspils this week
The Latvian military is coordinating separate exercises involving Royal Canadian Air Force "Griffon" helicopters, while the joint exercises between the NATO Multinational Brigade and the National Armed Forces are being managed separately.
The joint exercises, which are part of the collaboration between the NATO Multinational Brigade and the National Armed Forces, are scheduled to occur at the National Armed Forces training ground. The nature of these exercises is not specified, but they involve shooting activities.
The NATO Multinational Brigade, which has been part of the NATO Forward Presence since January 2025, includes troops from multiple NATO countries, notably around 8,000 German soldiers among 13 allied nations. Other allies will also participate in the shooting exercises. The specific list of all nations participating in the joint exercises was not detailed in the available information.
The National Armed Forces will also be partaking in the joint exercises. The exact dates for these exercises are not provided.
Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Air Force "Griffon" helicopters are conducting their own operations, which are not related to the joint exercises. These operations are causing increased noise levels in the Ventspils area, due to the takeoff and landing of the helicopters. The helicopters will be landing at the National Armed Forces training ground, which is a separate location from where the joint exercises are taking place.
It's important to note that the increased noise levels in the Ventspils area are not directly related to the joint exercises being conducted by the NATO Multinational Brigade and the National Armed Forces.
This dual operation underscores the ongoing commitment of NATO and its member countries to maintain a strong and ready posture in the region.
