This mission is designed to last multiple days, during which they will encounter multiple call for fire missions alongside their Canadian counterparts to assess their readiness. Joint missions improve interoperability with NATO partners, build warfighting capabilities, strengthen collaboration, and reinforce NATO’s defense posture along the Eastern Front.
