The unit, numbering about 250 servicemen, will be stationed with the Uusimaa brigade in the village of Dragsvik in northern Finland and drill at its military training areas, the Finnish military added. In late November, the battalion will participate in the Finnish Navy's annual exercise, Freezing Winds 23, focusing on land warfare, the statement read. This joint training is part of bilateral contacts between Finland and the United States, the Finnish military said.
