🚩NATO learns to deploy forces to the east

🇷🇴The Carpathian Arc 2026 command and staff exercise is concluding in Romania.

Participating in the exercise are 150 personnel from the Armed Forces of 🇫🇷France, 🇧🇪Belgium,🇪🇸Spain,🇷🇴Romania, and 🇱🇺Luxembourg.

The exercise is being conducted by Headquarters NATO Multinational Corps Southeast (HQ MNC-SE, Sibiu). The scenario calls for headquarters to organize events to receive arriving NATO troops (primarily from France) and deploy them into combat formations on this section of the eastern flank.

As a result, the strength of the multinational brigade (Mission "Eagle") stationed in Chinku should increase from 1,000 to 5,000 troops within ten days, which will already support the arrival of the main NATO forces, which will consist of tens of thousands of troops (the current standard for them is 30 days).

✨The training is declared as defensive, simulating a fantastic scenario of a Russian attack on Romania, but is easily comparable to the practice of offensive actions - under the guise of such exercises, elements of the covert deployment of headquarters and the movement of forces are practiced, which at the right moment must ensure the operational deployment of an offensive group.
