Col. Paul Clayton of the British Army, commander of the eFP, said Monday that: We undoubtedly rose to the challenge of COVID this year, and kept to our exercise schedule, including cross-border exercises like Furious Axe, in Latvia. We completed the integration of the UK-led NATO battlegroup into the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) 1st Brigade, thus becoming an integral part of the collective defense of Estonia, Col. Clayton went on, speaking at a press conference.
