NOTE: This article is about the village of Polana on the Livonia terrain in ArmA 3. For its counterpart on ArmA 2'sChernarus terrain, see Polana (Chernarus).
Polana is a settlement located in the semi-abandoned region of Nadbór, Livonia.
Its historical significance dates back to the mid 1800s. Livonian Romantic composer, Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, wrote the famous "Livonian Suite" after his visit to the settlement in 1842.[2]
In the present day, Polana now serves as one of the Logistics Staging Areas (LSA) in the region for the Livonian Defense Force (LDF).[1] It has been designated as an LSA following the commencement of joint military exercises in 2035, and continues to serve as such on a biennial basis.[3][4]

Named Excercise Electron-39, the event will be the biggest of its kind and comes just weeks ahead of a Kremlin decision on a CSAT membership action plan. Russia says that such a show of force, close to its borders, is a threat to its security. Foreign Minister Poda Makarovich said: 'NATO sabre-rattling is counterproductive. The world is already on a precipice. A return to bilateral Cold War-era thinking could be disastrous for everyone. If the US continues to ignore the new world order, and insists on creating enemies where there are none, they run the risk of making their fears a reality.' The Electron exercises began in 2035 and occur every two years. About 14,000 Livonian and 10,000 US personnel are taking part this week, as well as 1,000 from the UK and other NATO states. Attending forces will focus on interoperability, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) defenses, and Electronic Warfare. But AAN's correspondent in Andrzejów, Sean Bradwell, says paranoia in Eastern Europe has reached a fever pitch since Belarus began accession talks with CSAT, following the 2035 Moscow Summit. He added that many in the West are still concerned over the 'Apex Protocol Papers' and the bloc's projection of soft power expansionism. Exercise Electron, Bradwell states, is a way of bolstering confidence at a time when CSAT looks poised to achieve complete global hegemony. If Russia enters the fold, it would mean the final and most important domino has fallen.", AAN News
