The website Delfi.lv writes about the combat readiness test, citing the official NBS announcement. Media outlets reported that large movements of military equipment and personnel were expected as part of the exercise.
“The combat readiness test is planned in advance but was unexpected for the forces participating in it. The test is not related to changes in the security environment or other events related to national security.” It is written.
At the same time, the Armed Forces Press Office called on the people to participate and mobilize for the military.
“Increasing readiness for action begins with the personal commitment, initiative, and responsibility of each person. Every citizen has a choice: to enter a profession, serve in the National Guard, or to join the Basic Reserve.” “You can either undergo military training, become a combat-ready reservist, or you can responsibly carry out your official duties and take care of the people.”
Latvia. Military changes regarding mobilization of foreign volunteers
In recent months, work has been underway in Latvia to reform the law governing the functioning of the local military. In October, media reported the passage of a bill to amend the military service law. This change allows foreign nationals to serve in Latvian units.
With the entry into force of the revised law, citizens of all European Union and NATO member states, as well as Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and Ukraine, will be able to join the Latvian army.
“Ukraine's experience shows that nationals of other countries can also fight effectively in the armed forces,” the Latvian Ministry of Defense said.
Those wishing to join the Latvian army must meet a number of requirements and “meet national security interests.” Volunteers must know Latvian or one of the two specified foreign languages (English, French).
