    A woman in a burgundy/maroon quilted jacket appears to be leading a guided tour for a large group of approximately 25-35 people in an outdoor courtyard. The setting appears to be a historical fortification or castle complex, with thick white/cream-colored walls, arched windows, and what appears to be a military artillery piece visible in the background. The group is attentively listening to the guide, suggesting an educational or cultural tour.

    In the first of several cultural exchange outings, U.S. Cavalry Soldiers visited the Kaunas Fortress and museum Oct. 11 to learn about the horrific history of the site that has served as Russian military fortifications in WWI, Nazi extermination camp in WWII, and Russian prison and deportation center after WWII. U.S. Cavalry Soldiers are in Lithuania as part of the U.S. Army Europe-led Atlantic Resolve, a multinational combined arms exercise involving the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, and host nations, taking place across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
