Exercise Baltic Operations (BALTOPS), the premier maritime-focused exercise in the Baltic Region, takes place in the Baltic Sea from June 1-15. As in past iterations, ground, maritime, and air forces will work together to exercise air defense, maritime interdiction, anti-subsurface warfare, mine countermeasures, and amphibious operations in order to strengthen the development of our joint leaders and teams across all layers of the battlespace.
U.S. Marines with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are participating in combined Exercise Baltic Operations with 18 NATO allies and European partners.
