 Spanish forces joined 16 NATO allies and partners in the Baltic Sea for two weeks of scenario-based training to demonstrate their resolve to defend the region. Spanish Naval Academy student Encin Miguel Lopez explains why this exercise is necessary. It is very important for us, for the NATO forces to work together and coordinate all our procedures and the way we work because each country has its different publications and doctrines. So for us the most important right now is to work together in one way. Cabo Pilar Padreyes, an electronics technician, believes in the positive message Baltops is sending to the world. I think it's a very important situation to establish. We are here to support these countries and that we have a good relationship between USA and European countries.
