The Spanish Army’s VI Maneuver Helicopter Battalion (Bhelma VI), operating under the Canary Islands Command, is carrying out joint military exercises in the Spanish-administered enclaves of Ceuta (Sebta) and Melilla.
These exercises, part of the annual training program led by the General Command of Ceuta, are designed to enhance the battalion’s readiness and operational efficiency. Similar training initiatives are conducted in other Spanish territories, including Melilla, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands.
