It reflects NATO’s commitment to collective defence and is part of the Alliance’s regional defence plans, which were approved during the NATO summit held in Vilnius in July 2023.
Given that the Brigade’s presence in Lithuania is of vital importance to the country, we are committed to creating the necessary conditions for its reception. All Lithuanian institutions are making efforts to establish the infrastructure for housing soldiers, providing training, storage and maintenance of military equipment, as well as ensuring the necessary civilian services to accommodate the families of German soldiers arriving in Lithuania.

The German Army’s 45th Armoured Brigade, consisting of three manoeuvre battalions and all necessary enablers, including combat support and logistics units, will be permanently relocated to Lithuania. The Brigade’s relocation will occur gradually, with most of the deployment taking place in 2025–2026, and the full operational combat capability of the Brigade is expected to be achieved by 2027. The Brigade will be a fully combat-ready unit, equipped with all necessary vehicles, equipment, personnel and supplies.
