The EURETEX exercises are being held for the 16th time. Poland is hosting the drills for the first time.
Over the course of two weeks, troops from Poland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Denmark, Hungary, and the United States will share their expertise in military engineering at the Drawsko Combat Training Center in Poland's West Pomerania region.
Some of the tactical exercises will also take place at the Land Forces Training Center in Wędrzyn in the country's western Lubuskie province.
In addition to land operations, underwater training for divers using explosives is planned, along with training sessions in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense, as well as military geography, meteorology and oceanography.
The EURETEX exercises for military engineers are held every two years under the supervision of the Eurocorps, a multinational military force based in Strasbourg, France.
The Eurocorps military force can be used for humanitarian, rescue and peacekeeping missions by international organisations such as the European Union, NATO and the United Nations.
It is led on a rotating basis by commanders named by participating countries.
In January 2022, Poland became one of the Eurocorps’ Framework Nations, joining France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Spain.
