At the request of NATO, the Danish Armed Forces have deployed a combat battalion with support units in Latvia. With approximately 750 soldiers, the battalion is helping to reinforce the region after Russia’s unjustified and brutal invasion of Ukraine.

The battalion is formed by the Danish Army’s 1st Brigade and is mainly composed of the 1st Hussars of the Guard Hussars Regiment, with support units from the Danish Artillery Regiment and the Danish Logistics Regiment. The Danish forces are deployed alongside troops from other NATO member countries at Ādaži Military Base and are integrated into the Latvian Mechanised Infantry Brigade.
