BLIC reminds that earlier today it was announced that another 100 to 150 American servicemen from Germany will be redeployed with the necessary equipment, staff weapons and ammunition, as well as up to 15 infantry fighting vehicles.
Forces and resources from the Ministry of Defense, the structures under the direct authority of the Minister of Defense and the Bulgarian Army take part in the joint training. Joint exercises and training are usually short-term and help ensure our readiness and interoperability as NATO allies, BGNES said.
This next rotation of US troops in Bulgaria is part of bilateral cooperation and training in the field of defense under the terms of the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Defense concluded in 2006 between the governments of Bulgaria and the United States.
The joint exercises increase the combat capability of the Bulgarian Armed Forces and contribute to interoperability in national and allied formats and are an important part of the Alliance’s process of constantly adapting to the changed security environment and expressing our contribution to collective defense.
