In a chaotic environment ensure that 4000 soldiers carry out assignments at the right time. That is the challenge of practice Bastion Lion that started today. Tomorrow the troops will move to Germany for an attack operation in urbanized area. With this, the army is preparing even more realistic for a large -scale conflict.
Collecting information and monitoring dangers from the air. Also remove obstacles on the route and hand out the first blows. Furthermore, allowing the logistics chain to function over hundreds of kilometers. And also ensure that the mutual connections do not fail.
Precise coordination
Only when all these matters intervene correctly does the attack have a chance of success. This requires precise coordination between, among other things, genius, artillery and air defense. But Bastion Lion cannot escape large numbers of wounded and casualties. A fact with which sizes and commanders have to ‘deal’.
Bastion Lion brings 3 combat battalions on the mat. The exercise lasts until April 17, 2025.
