Multinational Battle Group Bulgaria on training with ALLIANCE WALL exercise

NOVO SELO TRAINING RANGE, Bulgaria – Multinational Battle Group Bulgaria conducted a joint exercise called “Alliance Wall”

This four-day activity involved almost all the units belonging to the Battle Group. Each of these units moved throughout the Novo Selo Firing Range in close coordination with each other to reach the main goal: interoperability of the new Battle Group.

More than 50 different vehicles were employed during the training activity: Italian AIFV (Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle) “Freccia”, IFV “Freccia” Mortar Carrier, AIFV “Freccia” Spike, Hellenic ITV (Improved Tow Vehicle) M901, United States Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Bulgarian Army MT-LB Multipurpose Tracked armored vehicles. In addition to that, a ground-based air defence system and tactical air controllers were deployed.

“…It is the best opportunity to demonstrate that we are NATO.”

The aim of this multinational event was designed to train the battle group to react…in strict coordination between the units from different nations, and with different equipment and tactical technical procedures.
