In the middle of the rotation we boosted our confidence and readiness with the first exercises together. Eager Leopard showed that we are #StrongerTogether and all of us are professionals in their business.

πŸ‡±πŸ‡Ή history is an important topic to the #MNBGLTU. Because of that we visit important and historic spots regularly. For example, the television tower in Vilnius and the Antakalnis Cemetery. The independence of our members makes us #Strongertogether.

Military deployments are a result of parliamentary decisions. It is necessary, that representatives of the states visit the #MNBGLTU for checking the actual situation and get informed. It is fundamental for further political decisions and the way ahead of #MNBGLTU.

One week ago, the command over the #MNBGLTU changed. For the first time in history of the deployment in Lithuania a πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Commander is in charge to command the Battlegroup. But that does not lead to any delay in our operability. We are #Strongertogether every time.
