Those troops are part of NATO Rapid response Force. NATO needs 48 hours to take action in case of any invasion earlier it was 72 hours.

At a meeting with Minister of Defence of Turkey Ismet Yilmaz on January 29 Minister invited Turkey to join in the NATO reassurance measures in the Baltic region. “We invite you to deploy Turkey’s military personnel to Lithuania and take part in combined training and exercises, as well as to reinforce the NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission,” Minister of National Defence J.Olekas said.

Minister J.Olekas also proposed to the Minister of Defence of Turkey to consider joining the establishment of the international NATO headquarters in Lithuania and five other Eastern European countries and the formation of the NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF).

By the way Turkey will be one of the country which is going to lead NATO response Force.

NATO chief says Turkey to lead rapid response force
May 14, 2015, Thursday

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said Turkey will be one of seven countries that will lead a rapid reaction force as part of a NATO high readiness force planned for 2021.

Speaking to reporters after a two-day summit of foreign ministers of NATO countries in the southern city of Antalya on Thursday, Stoltenberg said he welcomed Turkey's decision to take part in forming a spearhead unit as part of the high readiness force.

Allies decided to enhance the NATO Response Force (NRF) in 2014 by creating a “spearhead force” within it, known as the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF). The unit is expected to comprise 5,000 special unit forces from member countries, and will be able to respond to alerts within 48 hours.

According to NATO, "The NRF is a highly ready and technologically advanced multinational force made up of land, air, maritime and Special Operations Forces (SOF) components that the Alliance can deploy quickly, wherever needed." NATO also describes the force as a response to security challenges in Eastern Europe.

In the evening of April 14 Federal Minister of Defence Dr Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Lithuania for an official visit. The guest was met by Minister of National Defence Juozas Olekas at Vilnius International Airport.

On April 15 the Ministers will discuss the security situation in the region, Germany’s participation in military exercises held in Lithuania, establishment of the NATO Force Integration Unit (NFIU) in Lithuania, acquisition of weaponry, and other points of Lithuanian-German security and defence cooperation.

Germany will have deployed one company with military equipment in Lithuania by July. It will join the combined training with Lithuanian, U.S. and Portuguese soldiers. Another group of German military personnel will arrive in Lithuania in autumn to take part in Exercise Iron Wolf. The total of over 500 German soldiers is expected to come to Lithuania this year.



“We are genuinely grateful to the Federal Minister of Defence for the attention to our region and will do our best to provide as good training conditions for German soldiers as possible. Political and military support from Germany is an extremely important factor in ensuring our security,” J. Olekas said.



The Defence Ministers also addressed the establishment of the NATO Force Integration Units (NFIUs) and deployment of the NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF). The German guest informed about her country’s plans to post military personnel to the NFIUs to be established in the Baltic States and other Eastern European countries.



“Ensuring security and defence in the region is not only a concern of NATO allies, but primarily of Lithuania itself. Accordingly, Lithuania began consistently increasing defence financing over the several past years, it is expected to reach 1.46 pct. of GDP next year,” J. Olekas.



According to the Minister of National Defence, one of the priority areas of defence capacity building is increasing the strength of the Lithuanian Land Force.



“Federal Defence Minister and I discussed the possibility for Lithuania to buy Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) self-propelled artillery systems from Germany and we have received a positive answer. That allows us to begin concrete negotiations in May that, let’s hope, will lead us to acquisition of the so-needed capabilities in the nearest future,” the Lithuanian Minister of National Defence said.

Lithuania is also looking into the possibility of acquiring infantry fighting vehicles from a German manufacturer.

According to J.Olekas, Lithuania is interested in developing joint acquisition projects with Germany so that our soldiers would not only regularly train together but would also use similar weaponry.

There is no direct threat currently or invasion. Plus keeping all of them operational ready is too much expensive. If the demand rises, they can be made operational ready within couple of days.

There is a direct threat and 3 days back even German Parliament websites were hacked and openly pointed out towards Eastern Ukraine. I dont think that Eastern Ukraine rebels of Donetsk and Luhangsk are having such capabilities to hack German parliament website.

Hacker attack targets Bundestag data - The Local

“There has been an attack on the IT systems of the Bundestag,” spokesman Ernst Habeker said in Berlin.

Experts from the Bundestag administration and the Government Office for Information Technology Security (BSI) are working to fend off the hackers, he added.

The last time the Bundestag and Chancellery came under attack from hackers was in January, leaving both institutions paralysed for several hours.

At the time, a pro-Russian hacker group in Ukraine claimed responsibility.

there is a difference between hacking and ground assault. There is no Direct threat. The direct threat comes after fall of warsaw

Warsaw will not fall and Poles will stand similar like the 1920's.

That hacking was done for the German support to the Ukrainian establishment.
