U.S. Marines to Support European-Led NATO Security Initiative in the Baltic Sea
A specialized team of U.S. Marines currently deployed to Europe will be re-tasked to the Baltic Sea region to support the NATO-led Enhanced Vigilance Activity Baltic Sentry. Around four dozen U.S. Marines from 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division and II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., will operate alongside the Finish Coastal Brigade to provide advanced expeditionary surveillance and tactical reconnaissance capabilities. The activity is designed to enhance maritime domain awareness to protect critical undersea infrastructure and general security in the Baltic Sea.
