Soldiers of 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment quickly dismount and post up during a competition with Polish soldiers on Nowa Deba training area, March 3. Polish and U.S. platoons participated in a day of friendly competition with events such as mount-dismount drills of the armored vehicles, tire flip relays, buddy-carry relays, low crawl drills and tug-of-war. Both Polish and U.S. soldiers also got to familiarize and fire their allies’ weapons, during a joint live-fire exercise. The day demonstrated the comradery between the two countries as well as the continued interoperability of the allied forces. This exercise is part of Army Europe-led Operation Atlantic Resolve land force assurance training taking place across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to enhance multinational interoperability, strengthen relationships among allied militaries, contribute to regional stability and demonstrate U.S. commitment to NATO.
