NATO's major Quadriga maneuver is gaining momentum: How the Bundeswehr is involved. The focus is on defending NATO's eastern flank.

The maneuver extends over a period of five months and is Germany's contribution to the major NATO exercise Steadfast Defender. The soldiers involved train alerting, deployment to NATO's external borders in the northeast and southeast, and combat. A total of around 90,000 soldiers are to be mobilized in the alliance. “For the first time in an exercise, we are combining the defense of NATO’s eastern flank with Germany's role as a linchpin for theDefense of Europe,” said Germany's highest-ranking soldier, Carsten Breuer.
