    WORLD  09 May 2023 - 18:12

    A large-scale United States-led military exercise taking place this week will see rehearsals of a scenario where allied forces need to be rapidly transferred to Estonia, in conjunction with the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) and other allied nations.

    Dubbed Swift Response 23, personnel from the Czech Republic, the UK, Latvia and Poland will join their Estonian and US allies, with one of the focal points being a close to 600-strong para jump over Nurmsi airfield in Järva County, ERR reports.

    A total of around 1,500 personnel from all nations are taking part.

    Swift Response 23 runs May 7-20 inclusive, with simultaneous activities taking place in Spain and Greece as part of the larger scale US Exercise Defender 23.
