Commander MNC NE Lieutenant General Egon Ramms requests all inhabitants of Szczecin for understanding in relation with increased traffic of military vehicles and apologies for any traffic problems that may arise from October 31 (Monday) to November 11 (Friday) 2005. This situation is due to the international exercise "Compact Eagle 2005", which is to be conducted at the military facilities in Szczecin (in Łukasińskiego Street, G. Narutowicza Street, Ku Słońcu Street and Wojska Polskiego Street).
The aim of "Compact Eagle" exercise is to test the Corps’ operational structures and procedures and thereby achieve Full Operational Capability certification and the status of Lower Readiness Headquarters of NATO Forces. About 3,700 soldiers from more than ten countries will participate in the exercise during which no combat operations of subordinate formations will take place.
