Nato battlegroup in Latvia 'laser-focused' on conventional tactics

The Nato battlegroup in Latvia has become "laser-focused" on developing conventional tactics, the commander of the fighting force has told Forces News.

Canadian troops are leading the multinational battlegroup stationed in the country as part of Nato's enhanced Forward Presence programme, with more than 1,000 soldiers and their vehicles being deployed to deter any potential hostilities from neighbouring Russia.

As the conflict in Ukraine continues, Nato members are taking note of how the tactics being used on the battlefield in Ukraine can alter their preparations for future conflicts.

In the video above, the battlegroup's commander, Lieutenant Colonel Danny Vincent, explained to Forces News how his troops are learning from the war.
