NATO's Multinational Battlegroups in the East of the Alliance
It’s been five years since NATO deployed four multinational battlegroups to its eastern flank. The battlegroups, stationed in the three Baltic States - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - as well as in Poland, were one of several measures announced in response to Russia’s illegal and illegitimate annexation of the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine in 2014.
As they commemorate their fifth anniversary, the battlegroups, led by Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, remain combat-ready, demonstrate the strength of the transatlantic bond between Europe and North America, and make clear that an attack on one Ally would be considered an attack on all.
After Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, NATO announced the formation of four more battlegroups in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
This video examines the role of the battlegroups, how they train and operate, and what they bring to the Alliance. Featuring interviews from battlegroup commanders, it also looks back at the deployment of the battlegroups and the cause of their placement in the east of the Alliance.

Exactly this, it baffles me to hear nay-Sayers against NATO in each country. Like one politician in my country who said 'The war in ukraine is the best thing that happened and putin is the dark knight' in combination with an anti-NATO sentiment. Before the formation of NATO and the EU we had so much war for over 2000 years in our regions. And have had relative peace ever since... not only does it deter outside threats... it also binds us together in the idea that we might be slightly different culturally... we all want to live our lives in peace without wars in our lifetime. So yeah... agreed

@@Redisia yeah, as an American, I really can’t understand why anti-NATO sentiment has become so prevalent in political discourse in the last several years (and to a lesser extent, the last few decades.) It’s especially unnerving when someone who is (as of writing this comment, WAS) technically the commander-in-chief of our armed forces talk disparagingly about the alliance, and even make masked threats alluding to what would amount to undermining the alliance itself (I’m sure you can guess who I’m referring to). Thankfully, the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to have woken a lot of naysayers up, and reinvigorated enthusiasm for NATO. We even welcomed a new member recently (Finland), and hopefully will be welcoming another one soon. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Professional military men from countries that hold democracy and humanity dear - very proud👍
Long live NATO!
I remember cleaning houses in Afghanistan with Polish troops. I didn’t understand their language, but I fully understood the same battle tactics used. Literally no second guessing the mission objective

Justice or injustice, our team against theirs. Our will against theirs. That would be more proper motive to rally around, since diverse peoples and cultures can't agree on definition of justice. Usually it is just a stand in for self-interest. And if it can be agreed upon, the standards have probably been dragged down to make that possible. We are not hypocrites, or at least I would not like to give that impression. But we have legitimate security interests in common, on which the fate of western civilization depends in practice. A civilization that cannot or doesn't want to rule its own fate probably doesn't and will be done down by more unscrupulous actors.

As an American and New Yorker I grew up in the shadows of the twin towers and my dad, an immigrant from Ireland, worked on the construction of those towers so I was deeply touched when NATO invoked article 5 for the first time and only time so far in its 70 year history. I am also a dual US/EU citizen and strong supporter of NATO, US and EU. Long live NATO, Slava Ukraine and welcome Finland and Sweden to the family. I support Ukraine joining NATO.
Bless those who serve in defense of others.

Nobody of those soldier's is seeing that way. All of them fighting for theirs own country's. They finally understand that Poland always was defending Europe from the Russian and Ottomans. So if you do not let Poland lose the war will never come to your home again.

Well NATO never declared war on anyone. U can criticize Western hypocrisy on many levels, but NATO is a defensive pact
The battlegroups are still far too small as to not even be a trip wire but that's politics. Poland may be relatively secure due to it's own large armed forces, good logistics and the US presence but the Baltic States definitely are not secure due to the excessive time needed to adequately reinforce these nations, which in itself may invite a move from the perpetual invader.
Go NATO🇬🇷🇪🇺
It's too bad they're only stationing battalion-sized units. What about brigade-sized elements? I'm sure NATO member states have enough troops to spare (okay maybe not Germany but still)
