By conducting joint training exercises with allied forces and JEF PNs, the FDF aims to strengthen cooperation, interoperability, and shared understanding among the participating nations. During the exercise, the Finnish Defence Forces will test a range of tactics, techniques, and procedures in various scenarios, including defensive and offensive operations, urban warfare, and border security.
