Motorised Infantry Brigade "Iron Wolf" (MIB "Iron Wolf") (Lithuania:
motorizuotoji pėstininkų brigada "Geležinis vilkas")
is the core unit of the Lithuanian Army (the largest one too) and
forms the country's contribution to NATO collective defence. The
name of the brigade relates to the Lithuanian mythical character
from the medieval foundation legend of the Vilnius city. The
Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Iron Wolf" currently consists of the
command and its elements: three mechanized infantry battalions
(Lithuanian Grand Duke Algirdas, Lithuanian Grand Duke Kestutis,
Lithuanian Duke Vaidotas), General Romualdas Giedraitis artillery

Artiljerijski bataljon General Romualdas Giedraitis, opremljen 105

i Litvanije. Danci su poklonili topove, transportna vozila i
granate. Glavna zadaća ovog bataljona je podrška pješadiji.
Struktura ove jedinice je slična onoj pješadijskog bataljona (i po
broju ljudi isto). Bataljon se sastoji od štaba, štabne baterije i
tri vatrene baterije. U slučaju potrebe, bataljon se „razdvaja“ na
manje jedinice i simultano učestvuje u operacijama na različitim
područjima. |

Zastava je prvobitno dizajnirana 1918. godine i ponovo je ušla u
upotrebu 1988. godine. Žuto predstavlja sunce, svijetlo i božansku
boju. Zeleno simbolizira ljepotu prirode, slobodu i nadu, dok je
crveno boja zemlje, hrabrosti i krvi prolivene za slobodu Litvanije. |

The flag was officially designated in 1918, and was re-instituted in
1988. Yellow represents the sun, light, and goodness, green
symbolizes the beauty of nature, freedom, and hope, and red stands
for the land, courage, and the blood spilled for Lithuania. |

STUPOVI GEDIMINASA |
|
Stupovi Gediminasa (litvanski: Gediminaičių stulpai)
su jedni od najranijih simbola Litvanije i prvi grb. Korišten je u
Velikom vojvodstvu Litvanije prvotno kao osobni pečat vladara. Ime
„Supovi Gediminisa“ nastaje u 19. vijeku i nadjenuo ga je
povjesničar Teodor Narbutt koji je smatrao da je to bio znak
Gediminasa, velikog vojvode, mada ne postoji niti jedan pouzdan
podatak da je to bilo tako. Ovaj je znak korišten na mnogim
zastavama i grbovima, pa tako i vojnim i policijskim. |

The Columns of Gediminas or Pillars of Gediminids (Lithuanian:
Gediminaičių stulpai) are one of the earliest
symbols of Lithuania and one of its historical coats of arms. They
were used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, initially as a rulers'
personal insignia, a state symbol, and later as a part of heraldic
signs of leading aristocracy. The name "Columns of Gediminas" was
given in the 19th century by historian Teodor Narbutt, who supposed
that the symbol was Gediminas' insignia. The more exact name of the
symbol is the Pillars of Gediminids, since there is no direct
evidence of its connection with Grand Duchy of Lithuania. |

MULTINATIONAL CORPS
NORTH EAST
MULTINACIONALNI KOPUS SJEVERO-ISTOK |
|
1997. ministri obrane Danske, Njemačke i Poljske odlučili su
osnovati dansko-njemačko-poljski korpus. Ovaj je korpus trebao
dobiti naziv Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok (Multinational
Corps Northeast, MNC NE). Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok
formiran je 18. rujna 1999. u Szczecinu u Poljskoj, koji je
postao njegovo sjedište. Razvio se iz dugogodišnjeg jedinog
multinacionalnog korpusa u NATO-u, savezničkih kopnenih snaga
Schleswig-Holstein i Jutland (LANDJUT). Trinacionalna radna
skupina osnovana je nakon odluke iz srpnja 1997. da Poljska
treba biti primljena u NATO. Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok
ima ključnu funkciju u integraciji novih država članica NATO-a. |
In July 1997, Ministers of Defence of Denmark, Germany and
Poland decided to establish a Danish-German-Polish Corps. This
corps was to be named Multinational Corps Northeast.
Multinational Corps Northeast was formed on 18 September 1999 at
Szczecin, Poland, which became its headquarters. It evolved from
what was for many years the only multinational corps in NATO,
Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland (LANDJUT). A
tri-national working group was established following the July
1997 decision that Poland was to be admitted to NATO.
Multinational Corps North East has a key function in the
integration of new NATO member states. |
