The Baltic Naval Squadron (BALTRON) was inaugurated in 1998.[1] The main responsibility of BALTRON is to improve the co-operation between the Baltic states in the areas of naval defence and security. Constant readiness to contribute units to NATO-led operations is assured through BALTRON.
Each Baltic state appoints one or two ships to BALTRON for a certain period and staff members for one year. Service in BALTRON provides both the crew and staff officers with an opportunity to serve in an international environment and acquire valuable experience in mine countermeasures. Estonia provides BALTRON with on-shore facilities for the staff.

In 2015, Estonia decided to withdraw its permanent contribution of ships in the Baltic Naval Squadron (BALTRON), focusing its resources on the operations of common NATO mine countermeasures instead. Inaugurated in 1998, BALTRON was composed of the Minesweeping Squadron and the Navy Training Base. It is primarily aimed at combining the efforts of three countries in mine countermeasures.
