There is now only a few months left until the NBG to solve specialized tasks on behalf of the European Union. To manage the task force must be trained so challenging and realistic as possible.
Practice Series began in the spring of 2010 when Swedish conscripts had their final practice in Southern Sweden, System Training Exercise and Joint Challenge, along with parts of the NBG.
For two weeks in September have also exercise Illuminated Summer implemented. It was a command post exercise in which the current exercise scenario was played. The game had just begun to arrive NBG personnel and equipment to an operational area in order to start solving their task. Rapid Reaction Force's leadership, the so-called Force Headquarters (FHQ) was trained to lead the Battlegroup operations in the area.
The focus is now on the home stretch of this exercise series - the one that is implemented in each country - and even the common end of the exercises carried out in southern Sweden during October and November, Bold Lightning, Initial Effort and Joint Action.
