Finland, a recent NATO member, will host the Northern Land Command, strengthening the alliance's presence in northern Europe. This strategic move aims to enhance deterrence and defence capabilities in the region. The command, named Multi Corps Land Component Command, will operate under NATO's Norfolk Joint Force Command and Finland's land force command, with an initial annual budget of €8.5 million. This development underscores Finland's commitment to regional security and its partnership with NATO, particularly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
