Operation Legio with Ukrainian Soldiers at Camp Jomsborg, Poland

At a training camp in south-east Poland, Ukrainian troops are learning how to fight and survive on the battlefield under the instruction of NATO Allies. Camp Jomsborg was established in 2025 as part of Operation Legio, a multinational effort led by Norway to train, equip and fund Ukraine’s armed forces. Named after a mythical Viking fortress, the facility was set up by the Norwegian Army with support from several NATO Allies, including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, and is designed to give Ukrainian troops the battlefield skills they need to operate effectively. Ukrainian soldiers who arrive at Jomsborg have varying levels of skills and experience. Some are hardened combat veterans looking to learn advanced tactics from the Legio instructors; others are combat support troops like logistics soldiers, or artillery personnel who need infantry combat skills to survive on a dynamic and unpredictable battlefield. At the very least, trainees receive thorough instruction in marksmanship under stress, effective combat communication and platoon- and company-level infantry movements. Due to its close proximity to the Ukrainian border, Camp Jomsborg is an ideal place for Ukrainian forces to sharpen their skills. #military #ukraine #nato (Footage provided by Elodie Romain)
