The large-scale manoeuvre "Northern Coasts" is an essential component of cross-force cooperation in the Baltic Sea region. The protection of the northern flank is an elementary focus of the German Navy in its return to national and alliance defence.

Over 30 ships, 10 aircraft and various land units will train the complex interaction of all forces in a fictitious situation on land and at sea along Sweden's coastline.
