NATO eFP Battlegroup Latvia proceeds with Combat Readiness Evaluation [1]

[]

Date: 2023-03 

As emphasized by the Battlegroup Commander Lieutenant Colonel Craig Higgins, lessons learned from both defensive and offensive operations on exercise Wolverine Shield/Strike will be invaluable during Crystal Arrow: "For Exercise Wolverine Shield/Strike we focused on elements where we could improve, rather than what we were already effective at. Each company is proficient in their own tactical manoeuvres at the company level, but the exercise was about bringing everyone together to perform and execute operations at the Battlgroup level. This was an opportunity for us to refine our Command and Control as well as interoperability among these elements," said Higgins.

It was important for us to use this time in the field well and train our ability to function together effectively. With how we were able to function as a cohesive Battle Group, I have the utmost confidence in the eFP Battlegroup to achieve our objectives heading to Crystal Arrow.

The purpose of exercise Crystal Arrow 23 is to train and evaluate the integration of the multinational eFP Battlegroup and the Danish Infantry Battalion into the Latvian Mechanized Infantry Brigade. During the exercise, the Battlegoup service members will train in Command-and-Control procedures, operation planning and execution, offensive and defensive tactics and the integration of Allied NATO nations.
