Norway set to host biggest Nato exercises since Cold Car

 

Nato's biggest military exercises since the end of the Cold War, dubbed Trident Juncture 18, take place in Norway from October 25th to November 7th in what will be a massive display of strength.

Around 50,000 troops from 31 countries – Nato's 29 member states plus Sweden and Finland – will take part in the manoeuvres organised in central Norway for the land exercises, in the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea for the maritime operations, and in Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish airspace.

 

That is about 10,000 more soldiers than in the Strong Resolve exercises in Poland in 2002, which brought together Alliance members and 11 partner states.

 

No fewer than 10,000 vehicles will take part in the manoeuvres. Lined up end-to-end, the queue would measure 92 kilometres (57 miles), according to the Norwegian army.

 

Some 250 aircraft and 60 ships will also be involved, including the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.

 

More than 20,000 land forces will take part, as well as 24,000 navy personnel including US Marines, 3,500 air force personnel, around 1,000 logistics specialists and 1,300 personnel from a range of Nato Commands.

 

The top five contributing nations are the United States, Germany, Norway, Britain and Sweden, in that order.

 

Logistical headache

 

Housing, feeding and supporting so many troops requires considerable logistics.

 

The Norwegian army has installed 35,000 extra beds. Some 1.8 million meals and 4.6 million bottles of water will be handed out, and almost 676 tonnes of dirty laundry will have to be washed.

 

Proving that it's not always easy to be fully prepared, the Dutch army forgot to buy warm clothing for its 1,000 soldiers taking part in the exercises, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported.

 

When it suddenly remembered that Norway could get nippy in late October, it was too late to issue a tender offer for the necessary items. Instead, it has given each soldier a little sum to buy their own.

Massive Trident Juncture NATO exercise to deter Russian threat

 

By Sharon Marris, news reporter

 

Around 50,000 NATO troops have started the organisation's largest exercise in decades, despite anger across the border in Russia.

 

Personnel from the alliance's 29 countries, along with partners Finland and Sweden, will be joined by 65 vessels, 250 aircraft and around 10,000 tanks, trucks and other military vehicles.

 

Trident Juncture, which runs until 7 November, is based around restoring Norway's sovereignty after an attack by a "fictitious aggressor".

 

The main fear for countries in this part of the world is growing aggression from Russia, which has annexed Crimea and is accused of destabilising Ukraine….
