Fact File: No Permanent Positions Set up During Canadian-Led NATO Exercise in Latvia
Canadian officials said the NATO exercise tested mobility and coordination, and denied claims that about 2,000 troops were building permanent border positions.
- A Canadian military spokesperson dismissed a Nov. 3 social media claim alleging that a recent NATO exercise in Latvia was a cover to establish permanent defensive positions along the Russia border.
- Michaël Debled, a Canadian military spokesperson, stated the Resolute Reforger exercise, which concluded Sunday, aimed to validate the brigade's ability to operate in complex settings in eastern Latvia.
- Between Oct. 26 and Nov. 8, approximately 2,000 military personnel and hundreds of vehicles were transported from the Adazi and Ceri bases to various locations across eastern Latvia.
- The false post misinterpreted a CTV News report where Lt.-Col. Simon Mailloux said Canada's military posture shifted from "deterrence" to "ready-to-defend," sparking speculation about permanent structures.
- Operation Reassurance, a Canadian-led NATO mission based at Camp Adazi with around 2,000 soldiers, remains designed to deter Russian aggression across eastern Europe.
