Steadfast Jazz 2013

Six thousand soldiers, including 3,000 from Poland, are taking part in one of the biggest NATO exercises in recent years code-named Steadfast Jazz 2013 underway in Poland and the Baltic States since November 2. The exercises are attended by all 28 NATO member states as well as by sub-units from partner countries - Finland, Sweden and Ukraine.

The President of the Republic of Poland, the NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the Head of BBN Stanisław Koziej monitored the exercises at Drawsko Pomorskie in north-western Poland on Thursday.

President Bronislaw Komorowski said, that joint field operations show most effectively that solidarity, also solidarity in practice, is the basic principle of NATO operations. Even if threats are simulated, as is in the case of manoeuvres, cooperation is always true, real".
