NATO's enhanced Forward Presence battlegroup uparmours in Latvia

摘要

NATO's Canadian-led enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) battlegroup in Latvia has received armour reinforcements from Italy and the United States in the last month, doubling the number of main battle tanks (MBTs) it possesses, albeit temporarily. The Latvian National Armed Forces announced on their website on 15 August that 70 soldiers and 12 M1A2 SEPv2 Abrams MBTs of the 2nd Battalion, 34th Regiment, 1st Brigade of the US Army's 1st Infantry Division had arrived at Camp Adazi as part of the current rotation of Operation 'Atlantic Resolve'. The US armoured unit will stay in Latvia for about two months to train with the National Armed Forces and the eFP battlegroup.
