U.S. Army Maj. Michelle Su, an operations officer assigned to the 839th Transportation Battalion, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, briefs military members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and civilians on Apr. 28, 2025, prior to the reception, staging, and onward movement operation for incoming units in Narvik, Norway. The incoming units are part of Operation Swift Response 25. SR25 involves approximately 4,100 U.S. participants and support from all Joint components including U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa (USAFE-AF), Marine Forces Europe and Africa (MARFOREUR/AF), Navy Forces Europe and Africa (NAVEUR-NAVAF), U.S.-based special forces and 1,900 personnel from 14 other countries to include Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Demonstrating global deterrence and the U.S. Army's ability to rapidly deploy U.S.-based combat power in Europe and the Arctic region alongside Allies and partners, DEFENDER 25 brings U.S. troops together with forces from 29 Allied and partner nations to build readiness through large-scale combat training from May 11-June 24, 2025. DEFENDER 25 increases the lethality of the NATO alliance through large-scale tactical training maneuvers and long-range fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multinational environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase the U.S. Army's operational reach. During three large-scale combat training exercises— Swift Response, Immediate Response, and Saber Guardian-Ally and partner forces integrate and expand multi-domain operations capability, demonstrating combined command and control structures and readiness to respond to crisis and conflict.
