Ships from SNMCMG1 dock at the port of Turku as it prepares for exercise Freezing Winds. NATO and its Allies are intensifying efforts to protect vital sea routes and critical infrastructure. Exercise Freezing Winds 2025 brought together ships from Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group One (SNMCMG1) and other Allied units to train side by side in the Baltic Sea’s harsh winter conditions. Over several days, naval forces, divers, and mine counter-measure teams practised joint operations to ensure readiness against diverse threats — from detecting and neutralising underwater threats to responding to disruptions affecting vital sea lines of communication. This exercise complements NATO’s Baltic Sentry enhanced vigilance activity, launched in January 2025 to strengthen surveillance and monitoring across the region. The exercise took place from 24 November to 4 December 2025. A Finnish conscript on guard duty looks toward the camera during exercise Freezing Winds.

SNMCMG1’s flagship LVNS Virsaitis sails through the Baltic Sea during exercise Freezing Winds. NATO and its Allies are intensifying efforts to protect vital sea routes and critical infrastructure. Exercise Freezing Winds 2025 brought together ships from Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group One (SNMCMG1) and other Allied units to train side by side in the Baltic Sea’s harsh winter conditions. Over several days, naval forces, divers, and mine counter-measure teams practised joint operations to ensure readiness against diverse threats — from detecting and neutralising underwater threats to responding to disruptions affecting vital sea lines of communication. This exercise complements NATO’s Baltic Sentry enhanced vigilance activity, launched in January 2025 to strengthen surveillance and monitoring across the region. The exercise took place from 24 November to 4 December 2025.
