The Slovak Shield 2022 exercise began on Monday and will involve more than 1,200 soldiers from Slovakia, Hungary and the United States. The exercise will also serve as a training opportunity for the multinational NATO battlegroup that has been stationed in Slovakia for more than a month. The first week of the exercise will be devoted to a command and staff exercise to train commanders, staff and units in the planning and conducting of joint operations in an international environment. Denis Tretinjak, Commander of the new headquarters of the NATO Multinational Division-NATO-Centre, was present in person at the opening ceremony before the start of the first phase of the exercise.
