Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group One (SNMCMG1) has successfully concluded a focused Historical Ordnance Disposal Operation (HODOPS) in the Bay of Riga. This operation, which took place over several days, was part of the group's ongoing Baltic Sentry mission. The multinational team engaged in training procedures aimed at detecting, classifying, identifying, and disposing of historic sea mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the First and Second World Wars. The effort underscores NATO's commitment to maritime safety and the importance of addressing historical threats in the region.
