The staff of the Mechanised Infantry Brigade Iron Wolf of the Lithuanian Armed Forces has passed the NATO combat readiness test - that is what stated in the official assessment documents signed by representatives of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Defence Staff and NATO's Allied Land Command in Germany after five months of training and three weeks of testing as international Exercise Allied Spirt X is drawing to a close. It is the first evaluation of the staff of the Mechanised Infantry Brigade Iron Wolf conducted according to the NATO Combat Readiness Evaluation System (CREVAL) procedures.
The "Wolves" have proved their ability to plan, command and control a brigade made up of Lithuanian and NATO allies' units. The testing included simulations of various types of operations, control of decision-making processes. The processes required the training soldiers to look into complex tactical situations that might develop when military actions are carried out. Performance of the Brigade's staff was closely followed by an international assessment group.
The official Combat Ready assessment means that soldiers of the MIB Iron Wolf are able to solve tactical issues on time and properly, as well as to coordinate their actions with representatives of international organisations and civilian authorities.
