NATO Force Integration Unit Latvia enables Allied counter-mobility [1]

[]

Date: 2023-01 

The workshop brought together around 40 military engineers and infrastructure specialists from the Latvian Armed Forces, the Canadian-led enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup, NATO entities, including Joint Force Command Brunssum, Multinational Corps Northeast, Multinational Division North and other Allied countries.

The purpose of counter-mobility operations is to slow down an enemy's advance, increase the required time for target acquisition and to offer a compelling military advantage to the defending force. It is a key element of any defence plan. While host nations are in lead of barrier planning, NATO supports national defence planning by complementing and linking regional counter-mobility activities, which is essential in defending the whole region.
