Lithuania’s National Defence Council on Wednesday approved the establishment of two new military training areas in Tauragė and Šilalė districts.

The envisaged locations would be suitable for manoeuvres of a company-sized unit...

According to the Defence Ministry, the military training area will cover 4,304 hectares in the Tauragė district and 2,697 hectares in Šilalė.

Lithuanian officials are also looking for new training locations as the country receives more and more allied forces and the country’s own armed forces expand.

Lithuania is establishing a national army division, which is expected to reach full operational capability by 2030.
