Ein bisschen geht angesichts der größeren Übungen im Osten Europas ja unter, dass derzeit deutsche Soldaten praktisch dauerhaft in Übungen im Osten der NATO präsent sind – unter anderem jeweils eine Kompanie des Heeres für bis zu drei Monate.

Deshalb hier ein paar Fotos von einer solchen Übung in Rukla in Litauen – Soldaten des Jägerbataillons 292 bei einem Wettbewerb mit Soldaten aus Litauen, den USA und Portugal.

Oder, wie es der US-Bildtext sagt:
