Two groups of NATO’s Standing Naval Forces in northern Europe currently under Norway’s lead – Standing NATO Maritime Group One (SNMG1) and Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group One (SNMCMG1) – conducted a joint exercise in the waters between Norway and Denmark. From 18 to 21 April 2020, the exercise gathered five ships from three nations and covered an area from the southern part of Norway to the eastern part of Denmark and the inlet to the Baltic Sea. The exercise gave the participants the opportunity to interact in a range of different maritime areas such as replenishment at sea, towing, gunnery exercise and protection of the ships, as well as advanced manoeuvring. Footage includes shots of various medical and shooting exercises and shots taken from the Dutch ship HNLMS Willemstad, German ships FGS Donau and FGS Rhoen and Norwegian ships HNoMS Otto Sverdrup and HNoMS Otra.
