GERMANY's 41st Panzer Grenadier Brigade arrives in Lithuania

Germany recently showed its ability to surge forces to the east of the Alliance demonstrating NATO’s ability to deter potential adversaries and, if necessary defend its territory on short notice. Roughly 1,000 soldiers and 320 vehicles from the German Army’s 41st Panzer Grenadier Brigade were rapidly deployed to Lithuania for exercise Griffin Storm 23, arriving via rail, road and sea. Now established at Pabrade Training Area near the capital Vilnius, the troops will train with their counterparts from the Lithuanian Army until 7 July. #army #germany #lithuania
