Lithuanian–Polish Peace Force Battalion

Soldiers of the battalion served in various peacekeeping missions of the United Nations, NATO and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Since it was signed, various joint training exercises have taken place at the squad and platoon level between Polish and Lithuanian military.

[1] Creation of such specific unit was first proposed by President of Lithuania, Algirdas Brazauskas, during his speech in Polish parliament (Sejm) in 1995.

The unit was officially created on March 3, 1997 when a specific agreement was reached by Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its Lithuanian counterpart.

However, from 2008-9 a new formation, the Lithuanian–Polish–Ukrainian Brigade (LITPOLUKRBRIG), has been proposed to continue and expand the same type of regional combined force.
