During one of the largest combined exercises in Lithuania, the Suwalki Gap River Crossing, a narrator starts the event by stating the positions of troops and the scenario leading up to the river crossing, with the help of a German Army Soldier who points to a precise direction, during Exercise Iron Wolf, a component of Saber Strike 17, near Rukla, Lithuania, June 20. The miniature sand table also displays troops and terrain for an overall comprehension. The river crossing is a movement exercise by NATO's Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Groups Poland and Lithuania. The Battle Groups conducted operations to test their ability to mobilize quickly across the river, overcoming terrain. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Shiloh Capers)
