Latvia Boosts Military Capabilities with Sēlija Training Ground
Latvia is expanding its military capabilities with the construction of the Sēlija military training ground. Engineers from the Latvian National Armed Forces recently visited Michigan for an exchange of experience, highlighting the international collaboration involved in this engineering project. The base is expected to be operational by the end of 2025 and fully completed by 2030.
The Sēlija military training ground, planned to cover 25,605 hectares, will primarily be located on forest land. The Ministry of Defense began construction in 2022, with the first phase of the project budgeted at €36.5 million. The total cost is estimated to reach around €700 million. The project is justified by NATO's decision to increase multinational battle groups to brigade level in each country.
Engineers from the Michigan National Guard have contributed to the development of the base. The contract for deforestation has been awarded to JSC 'Latvian State Forests/LVM'. The project aims to respect the rights of private owners and maintain freedom of movement for the population.
The Sēlija military training ground is set to strengthen Latvia's military capabilities and reinforce NATO's presence in the region. The project, expected to be fully operational by 2030, is a testament to international cooperation, with Latvian engineers gaining valuable experience from their Michigan counterparts.
