Lithuanian troops take part in Northern Strike 20 exercise

From July 19 to July 31 Lithuanian troops have been taking part in Northern Strike 20 exercise at the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, both located in northern Michigan and operated by the Michigan National Guard.

Northern Strike is a Joint National Training Center accredited exercise aimed to provide opportunities for all military branches to increase proficiency integrating mission command, air, sea and ground maneuvers. The exercise also presents a premier opportunity for Army futures and defense industry’s partners to test emerging technologies for the future warfare. The exercise is modeled after a realistic combat scenario.

A total of more than 2,300 personnel participate in Northern Strike 20, including Army and Air National Guard forces from California, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin. Active duty forces from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, as well as personnel from the U.S. Army Reserve, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, and NATO partner countries. 

Lithuanian component is presented by 180 soldiers from the Motorised Infantry Brigade "Žemaitija". As to compare, in 2019 Lithuania sent only 3 soldiers. Although exercise is sponsored by the National Guard Bureau, Lithuanian Defence Ministry has spent almost 450 000 dollars.

Despite COVID-19 pandemic the exercise is carried out in accordance with previously approved plans. Michigan National Guard medical officials have worked with public health authorities to incorporate COVID-19 precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Countermeasures include social distancing, required use of masks when social distancing is not possible, and frequent sanitization.

Žemaitija: Tai ar jau galiu eit iš čia??

Vokietija: Ne

Žemaitija: *Vistiek išeina*

Prūsija: Na mes negalėtume jos sustabdyti.

Vokietija: Kodėl?

Prūsija: Kai bandžiau ji man sulaužė stuburą.

7, 15, 18 (:

7. three words from your native language that you like the most?Nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliaujantiesiems (it used to be the longest word in Lithuanian but apparently there is an even longer now... Anyway, I have no idea how to translate it, it is about rabbits and cabbages though); Perkūnas (word for ‘thunder’ and the name of our god of thunder); Rasa (the occurrence of raindrops on grass in the morning & a name (fun fact: my mom’s name) 

15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?I don’t know much stuff from that but I had this saved on my computer for ages because it’s so funny to me. It’s written in Samogitian (a dialect of Western Lithuania district called Žemaitija), and it basically says ‘what do we want? - snow! When do we want it? Now & not in April!’ it makes me laugh so hard because of the dialect and the way it sounds :D)

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?No. Even though I am from the west, for some reason none of us speak with the dialect/accent. I think it might have to do with the fact that we used to be separate and called ‘Little Lithuania’... maybe.
