According to a report on the German news television channel website on September 14, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has now issued a mandatory transfer order in order for Germany's armored brigade to reach full strength in Lithuania. The German Ministry of Defense said that the compulsory transfer order involved hundreds of military personnel. The German Ministry of Defense reported that the German Bundeswehr's 45th Armored Brigade, or “Lithuanian Brigade,” currently has a full complement rate of close to 80%, but the Bundeswehr has some “lacking areas”, and lacks logistics personnel and information technology personnel just like the industry. In response to Europe's changed security situation and aggressive Russia, the German government promised to send a combat force based in Lithuania. According to the plan, the “Lithuanian Brigade” will be completed in 2027. 4,800 military and 200 civilian personnel will be stationed in Lithuania. Rudninkai and Lukla of Lithuania are building military camps for the brigade.
