ORZYSZ 2019

ORZYSZ 2019

At nine o’clock on a Saturday morning in January, some hundred civilians gather in one of the biggest military training grounds in Europe, Orzysz in Poland. They are taking part in hard training in frost and snow, at temperatures around minus 20 degrees. What is this event, who organizes it, who and why attends it?

To find out, VSquare reporters spent a whole day in a real military compound. Heavy equipment is also on this field – Orzysz is an international NATO base with soldiers from Poland, Croatia, Romania and the US.
