These exercises allow the partner nations to learn from one another and establish best practices that will help them to improve their performance in subsequent multinational exercises. Along with each unit's training to sharpen their own skills, the partner nations in the Battlegroup collaborate through multinational training events. After confirming their proficiency with individual weapons, the units then advanced to their collective training events that test the ability of squads (9 Soldiers), platoons (40 Soldiers), and finally troops (150 Soldiers) to maneuver together and conduct operations in increasingly complex training exercises. As an example of this, the Stryker infantry units in the Battlegroup started their training cycle by validating their marksmanship with individual and crew-served weapon systems. Each unit in the Battlegroup also conducts their own role-specific training which focuses on improving proficiency in their fundamental skills and jobs before proceeding to more complex training events. To accomplish this, the partner units in the Battlegroup must work constantly to maintain their individual unit readiness through physical fitness training and conducting maintenance on vehicles and other equipment. In order to fulfill this mission, the Battlegroup operates on a nearly ceaseless training schedule to ensure that it can maintain the high level of readiness to "fight tonight", and if necessary to defend against aggression. Finally, the Romanian Army's "Blue Scorpions" provide air-defense capabilities to the Battlegroup.Īs NATO's enhanced Forward Presence in the region, Battlegroup Poland remains ready to respond at a moment's notice to defend against threats to the Alliance. For more precise targets, the Battlegroup also has a battery of M777 howitzers from Bulldog Battery, 2nd Cavalry Regiment which can engage targets with near pin-point accuracy. The "Seamounts" utilize self-propelled multiple launch rocket systems which can rapidly fire 122mm rockets up to twenty kilometers. The Battlegroup also contains extensive indirect fire capabilities which includes the Croatian Army's MLRS Battery. They are equipped with Jackals vehicles which were specifically designed for deep reconnaissance, rapid assault and fire support missions. As a reconnaissance unit, they specialize in the ability to move quickly and stealthily in front of the Battlegroup in order to gather information and communicate it back to the commander. Legion Troop, from the United Kingdom's Light Dragoons, serves as the Battlegroup's primary scouts and reconnaissance unit. Cougar Squadron is equipped with the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle, an advanced and fast-moving wheeled vehicle, which gives the Battlegroup the ability to rapidly move soldiers across the theater of operations as well as maneuver them around the battlefield. Currently, the United States Army's 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, "Cougars", make up the majority of the personnel in the Battlegroup as the framework unit. The partner countries assign rotational units to the Battlegroup.
Located at the Bemowo Piskie Training Area, in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Battlegroup Poland is comprised of units from Croatia, Romania, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
