Finland's Army Academy will organise Nato's Lightning Strike 24 artillery
exercise next month in Finnish Lapland.
The drills, taking place in areas around Rovajärvi and Rovaniemi between 4 and
28 November, are part of US-led (Dynamic Front 25) exercises in five European
countries.
According to the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF), the effort will be the largest
artillery drills that Nato has ever carried out in Europe.
The objectives of the exercise is to show the alliance's defence capabilities in
the region, as well as to practise operational command, control and cooperations
with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, according to an FDF press release on
Tuesday."
"Rovajärvi, the largest firing range and training area in Northern Europe, will
provide Allied troops with an excellent setting for exercising long-range fire.
We are very happy to be able to execute Lightning Strike as a part of a larger
exercise development framework this year," said Colonel Janne Mäkitalo, the
Lightning Strike 24 exercise director.
Up to 3,600 personnel members will participate in the drills in Finland,
including 1,250 international troops. Apart from Finland, countries taking part
in the drills will include the US, UK, Sweden, Estonia, France, Czechia and
others, the FDF said.
Finland's participation will involve personnel from the Army brigade-level
units, the Air Force, Border Guard, the Finnish Defence Forces C5 Agency, the
Centre for Military Medicine, and the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command,
according to the FDF.
International military equipment transports to the exercise areas are starting
during the middle of this month, with individual transports travelling across
the country.
The exercises will mostly impact communities in the Rovaniemi-Kemijärvi area,
due to traffic during the night and day, as well as an increase in the use of
local services, the FDF said.
Meanwhile, a concurrent air defence exercise, dubbed ADEX 2/24 Mallet Strike,
will take place at the Lohtaja Firing Range and Training Area between 12 and 21
November. That exercise will involve around 1,300 soldiers.
