The exercises of the National Armed Forces Namejs 2021, which will be held jointly with NATO countries, will start in Latvia, the local Defense Ministry reports.
Maneuvers with the participation of more than 9 thousand military personnel will be held throughout the country until October 3. One of the official tasks of the training is the implementation of tactical operations in hybrid and conventional conflicts.
To work out both scenarios, Namejs 2021 was divided into two stages, each of which lasts a little more than two weeks.
At the same time, according to the Latvian Defense Ministry, the republic's allies — the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Denmark, the Czech Republic and other states will be involved in the exercises.
Namejs 2021 will be held not only at the Adazhsky training ground, but also at regional sites — in Riga and the surrounding areas, as well as in Jelgava, Kuldig, Dobel, Ventspils, Aizkraukle, Jekabpils, Preili, Daugavpils, Rezekne and other cities.
The Ministry of Defense of the Republic informed that within the framework of the exercises, military equipment and personnel can move to any point in Latvia using local infrastructure. It is specified that the military equipment of both the Latvian and allied armed forces will move along Latvian roads and airspace.
Local residents are asked to treat with understanding possible difficulties in the movement of transport, and also not to worry if they see the military outside the landfills.
