SITUATION BRIEF

Taskforce Spearhead is a NATO Forward Enhanced Baltic Presence deployed to the town of Varteliai - Lithuania, which is situated within close proximity to the Suwalki Gap (key strategic region on the border between Lithuania, Poland and Kaliningrad Oblast-Russia).

The Suwalki Gap is commonly known as NATOs greatest weak point by Military Stratgists as it separates Kaliningrad from Belerus along the Lithuanian and Polish Border.
Russia has previously staged military exercises to invistigate what a land invasion through the Suwalki Gap would look like. As this would separate the Baltic states of Estonia Lithuania and Latvia from Poland and the rest of Europe.

A more recent development has seen, what appears to be, Russian backed militias operating from Vaerteliai carrying out actions against NATO aligned communities and small scale sabotage efforts against NATO infrastructure. This has lead to small scale confrontations between the Pro Russian Militias and Pro European and NATO aligned groups. Furthermore a known Spetnaz Unit (Tomahawk) have recently disembarked from a Baltic transport vessel to Kaliningrad.

A Russian Invasion of the Suwalki Gap is an imminent possibility. And due to the reports of Russian backed Militia Operations and the more recent arrival of Tomahawk Units within Kaliningrad, TaskForce Spearhead has been deployed to the region as a visual deterrent to Russia. With an aim to maintain the security of the Lithuania border with Kaliningrad and investigate and resolve the Russian backed Militia threat.
