Integration is a priority across the Navy and Marine Corps; the goal of this experimentation is to discover how the Marine Corps Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Marines take over where Navy mine countermeasures leave off.

“This is the largest set of experimentation we have done during BALTOPS, and it’s the first time we’ve had U.S. Marine Corps EOD with some of their emerging capabilities come out to a BALTOPS,” said John Stastny, U.S Sixth Fleet BALTOPS Experimentation Lead. “It’s been a long time since these two forces have worked together in this manner and on this scale.”

This year’s exercise is filled with several firsts.

BALTOPS is an annual military exercise, held and sponsored by Commander, United States Naval Forces Europe, since 1972, in the Baltic Sea and the regions surrounding it. BALTOPS is the premier maritime-led exercise in the Baltic Sea region and one of the largest exercises in northern Europe.

BALTOPS 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of this annual multi-national exercise and will conclude June 19th.
