Crystal Arrow, Solar Eclipse IV, Saber Strike, and Baltops: International Military Exercises in Latvia 2023

“Crystal Arrow” exercises will be held in March. These will be the certification exercises of the battle group of NATO’s extended presence in Latvia and the training of the headquarters and units of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the National Armed Forces (NBS) for improving command, planning and conducting operations.

Solar Eclipse IV, a tactical field training for combat support specialists with a focus on indirect fire support in depth combat, will take place in April.

In April and May, international regional military exercises “Saber Strike” organized by the High Command of the US Armed Forces in Europe and Africa are planned. The NBS plans to participate in the exercise to train the interoperability of units in tactical operations, as well as to conduct a tactical march.

Military exercises “Baltops”, which are the largest and most complicated exercises of naval forces and services in the Baltic Sea region, are scheduled for June.

More than 500 foreign military personnel will participate in each exercise in Latvia.

In accordance with the law, the decision on the participation of NBS units in joint military exercises on the territory of Latvia, if more than 500 foreign military personnel participate in the exercises, is adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers.
