The exercises "Spring Storm" launched 5 May and completed 23. 11 held at times and are the largest in the number of employees in the history of Estonia, as they involved more than 6 thousand soldiers. Apart from Poland sent its members the United States, United Kingdom, France, Lithuania.

The increased number of servicemen taking part in the maneuvers is due to the Alliance's concern over the situation in Ukraine. Particularly concerned are the Baltic republics, whose strength is insignificant.
