When badyzing the Baltic States' defense scenarios, fears are numerous that in case of Russian attack, the Allies might not be able to arrive on time with help. It is now decided that the headquarters of the multinational division "North" will be stationed in the military base of Ādaži. Denmark, Latvia and Estonia have agreed on this point.
The formation of the headquarters is a shrug of the work of the two previous summits of NATO – Warsaw and before that of Wales –
then capabilities and plans of the NATO to respond to Russia's actions after Russia. As a dangerous aggressor.
For example, it is often mentioned that the weak point of the Baltic countries is the so-called Suwalki Corridor – not nearly 100 kilometers from the borders between Lithuania and Poland. From one side of the Suwalki corridor lies the Russian Armed Region of Kaliningrad
If Russia occupies this corridor, the Baltic States are disconnected from Europe. The rapid and effective action of NATO would be what the new headquarters would take over
Raimonds Bergmanis (Union of Greens and Peasants), LTV's Defense Minister "Panorama" says in a interview
How many people will be involved?
This is a very good question. I do not know if I can find out. This headquarters will be in Adazi. We have already explored and have already made a point. I think that in the not too distant future we will also be able to start construction work … (…) part of this element of the headquarters will also be located in Denmark, where Latvian soldiers also serve. Therefore, all these capabilities will be cultivated so that this headquarters can really do what it is planned and able to organize, train our soldiers and our allies at such a level of decision-making.
Reducing Bureaucracy I remember very well my first trip to the meeting of NATO Ministers in Brussels when I met Mr. Stoltenberg in his office and when he showed the map and there, Latvia was marked in a different color from that of other NATO countries. That is to say, their ability and the speed with which they can obtain the necessary permits to cross the border. Now, all these things are solved (..) Thus, crossing this border is very simple and very fast now
That also gives it the speed, perhaps, which one hears very often that [sabiedrotie] could not catch up his delay. But (…) knowing that our strategic partner – the US – did not expect a NATO decision to come here after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, but arrived here by his own forces, announcing this operation and arriving here very literally fast (..)
Of course, our own legislation here has radically changed the situation here and our parliament has pbaded many amendments to the law, this that allows us not to end in the 1940s, when – stay in their place. Right now, everyone has the opportunity to resist and I think our soldiers are ready to make those decisions, if that chain of command or those links are broken, then it's much easier now to make decisions for the commanders of 39, unity for the beginning of the opposition. NATO forces in the Baltic States and Poland established their bases after the annexation of Crimea in March 2014, as well as the start of fighting in eastern Ukraine between the Ukrainian military and pro-Kremlin militants. In Latvia, the main NATO member state is Canada, Estonia – the United Kingdom, Lithuania – France and Poland – the United States.
