Residents and visitors in parts of Vilnius District may notice cadet activity on June 25–26, 2026, when the General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania holds field tactics exercises in several local areas.
The exercises are scheduled from 10:00 on June 25 to 15:00 on June 26. They will take place in Raudondvaris village, Tuščiauliai village and Nemenčinė forest, all within Vilnius District Municipality, the local authority area surrounding Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius.
The municipality said imitation ammunition will be used minimally during the training. This means people nearby may hear unusual sounds, but the notice describes the activity as planned training by military cadets, not an emergency.

For local residents, hikers and people planning to be in the area, the main point is the timing and location of the training. If military cadets are seen moving near Raudondvaris, Tuščiauliai or in Nemenčinė forest during the stated period, it is linked to the announced exercise.
The announced training area covers several places in Vilnius District Municipality. Raudondvaris and Tuščiauliai are villages in the district, while Nemenčinė forest is a woodland area associated with the town of Nemenčinė, northeast of Vilnius.
The locations have been named for field tactics training by cadets. Such exercises are designed to practise tasks in open terrain and wooded surroundings. The public notice does not provide a detailed route, map or list of exact points inside the villages or forest.
The key schedule is:
the exercises begin on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 10:00;
the exercises end on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 15:00;
activity is planned in Raudondvaris, Tuščiauliai and Nemenčinė forest.
This advance notice is intended to help people distinguish planned military training from unexpected events.
During the exercises, people in the area may see cadets moving through the training locations and carrying out field tactics tasks. The municipal notice states that imitation ammunition will be used only minimally.
Imitation ammunition is used in military training to make exercises more realistic. It can produce noise, which may be noticeable to nearby residents or visitors. The notice does not state that there will be traffic restrictions, closed areas or additional requirements for residents.
People who plan to visit Nemenčinė forest or be near Raudondvaris and Tuščiauliai during the training period should be aware of the scheduled activity. If cadet movement or occasional sounds are noticed, they should first be understood in the context of the announced exercise time and locations.
The public notice does not say that residents need to take special action, change routes or avoid specific places. As with any visit near an active training area, it is practical to keep a normal level of caution, avoid interfering with training tasks and follow any instructions given on site if such instructions are provided.
The purpose of this type of notice is public information. It gives residents and visitors clear dates, places and basic expectations before military training takes place.
Vilnius District Municipality said the information was provided by the General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania. The official notice identified the exact exercise period, the listed locations and the minimal use of imitation ammunition.
