The goal of the exercise is to demonstrate defense capability in the operational area of northern Europe in cooperation with Finland's allies and partners, as well as other authorities.
Another objective is to exercise operational command and control and cooperation with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
"Rovajarvi, the largest range and training ground in Northern Europe, will provide Allied troops with an excellent setting for long-range fire practice." "We are very happy to be able to conduct Lightning Strike 24 this year as part of a larger exercise development framework," said exercise director Colonel Jane McKitalo.
In the "Dynamic Front 25" exercise, artillery units will operate flexibly on the territories of several countries at the same time.
Demonstrate interoperability in command
Allied troops participating in the exercise in Finland will include a total of 1250 soldiers from the United States, Great Britain, Sweden, Estonia, France and the Czech Republic.
The exercises in Finland will improve the command and control of fire in army units and the use of artillery systems.
Conducted operations require units to demonstrate interoperability in command and control, logistics, and information sharing.
"Lightning Strike 24" is part of the "Dynamic Front 25" series of exercises led by the United States of America, is conducted in the territories of five countries and is the largest series of artillery exercises of NATO ever in Europe.
About 5000 soldiers from 28 different countries will participate in "Dynamic Front 25" in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Romania and Poland.
"The size of the exercise shows that, if needed, we can get support from allies very quickly indeed and command allied forces." "This is a good example of the fact that our own field artillery, combined with allied capabilities, makes a strong defense in the northern part of Finland and NATO," Mekitalo concluded.
