The NATO Battle Group in Romania has a new commander, Colonel Alexandre Feligonde, announced the Romanian Land Forces, quoted by Agerpres.
The change of command ceremony, between the commander of the 8th Marine Infantry Paratrooper Regiment, colonel Cristophe Degand, and the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment (1st Chasseur Regiment), colonel Alexandre Feligonde, took place at the headquarters of the "Getica" National Training Center in Cincu.
The Romanian NATO Battle Group was established in May, through the transformation of the allied multinational elements within the NATO Response Force, deployed in Romania.
The establishment of battle groups in Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary is part of the set of measures adopted by NATO to strengthen the deterrence and defense posture in the medium and long term, as a result of the military conflict triggered by the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
