Participating countries include Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The exercise features training in amphibious operations, gunnery, air defense, anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, explosive ordnance disposal, and medical response. It will also incorporate unmanned surface and underwater vehicles in various scenarios.
BALTOPS is led by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. Sixth Fleet and is command-and-controlled by Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO), based in Oeiras, Portugal. STRIKFORNATO will host liaison officers and planners from all participating nations, coordinating efforts through a multinational command center.
