Today, March 14th NATO begins Exercise Cold Response 2022 in Norway and the Waters Surrounding the Country, the Exercise will involve over 30,000 Troops, 50 Ships, and 200 Aircraft from 27 different NATO Countries making this the 2nd Largest NATO Exercise since the Cold War.
The Exercise was Originally suppose to Include over 35,000 Troops but numbers had to be reduced due to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and Forces having to be Deployed to Protect Poland, Romania, Slovakia and The Baltics, though the Exercise can be used to bolster that as well.
Also 2 NATO Aircraft Carrier Groups were Originally suppose to be Included in the Exercise as well, but due to the Invasion the NATO Battle Group Lead by the U.S Carrier Harry S Truman will remain in the Mediterranean Sea with the New British Carrier HMS Prince of Wales attending
I expect this Exercise to be used as a Message to the Russian Federation that NATO is United Against them and that if NATO Countries are attacked they will respond.
