The Finnish Defence Forces will be conducting exercises in Tuusula from 30 August to 4 September
The ‘Lively Stronghold 26’ local defence exercise will also see the Finnish Defence Forces carrying out operations in Tuusula at the turn of August and September. Troops will be moving around the exercise area; in addition, drones will be flown and live ammunition will be used at some of the exercise sites.
Around 550 people, the majority of whom are conscripts and reservists, are taking part in the exercise, which runs from Sunday morning, 30 August, to Friday, 4 September.
Activities relating to the exercise led by the Guards Jaeger Regiment will take place at all times of the day, both in the countryside and in built-up areas, on premises the use of which has been agreed in advance.
In Tuusula, training activities take place in both the southern and northern parts of the municipality, as well as along the border between Tuusula and Vantaa.
The training units are equipped with combat gear, including assault rifles. The use of training ammunition may cause noise in the immediate vicinity.
The exercise forms part of the training programme planned by the Guards Jaeger Regiment.
