Soldiers from Multinational Battle Group Bulgaria are participating in a series of complex exercises that will keep them busy for the coming weeks.
Many activities involve the use of small arms and weapons on board vehicles, with the use of mortar units and combat platforms such as the VBM (Medium Armored Vehicles) “Arrow”, in reconnaissance activities. On the ground also land artillery sections equipped with PZH-2000, very important to support the maneuver of infantry departments. The anti-aircraft defense units and those of the engineers are also engaged, respectively, in the defense of command posts and in overcoming bodies of water and other obstacles.
The multinational training activities are an unavoidable training moment for all the soldiers of the Battle Group, because they create esprit de corps within the departments, favor the integration between soldiers of different nationalities and guarantee interoperability between platforms and units, allowing the NATO Battle Group deployed in Bulgaria to fulfill the assigned mission.
The Multinational Battle Group, led by Italy since October 2022, is composed of units from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey and the United States of America. The operations conducted by the Italian Armed Forces on NATO’s eastern flank are arranged by the Chief of Defence Staff and are under the coordination and direction of the Joint Top Operational Command (COVI).
