Lithuanian soldiers seen off to Operation ATALANTA

The NSE soldiers will be providing logistic support to subsequent Lithuanian units which will be in charge of protecting a UN World Food Program-chartered vessel.

“As Lithuania deploys to an international operation, it demonstrates solidarity with its allies. This is particularly crucial today when the geopolitical situation requires us to be ready to deploy our troops to operations worldwide so that we can expect help when in need,” Commander of the Logistics Command Colonel Sigitas Mundris said at the formal deployment ceremony.
