“Trainings like these give me a chance to visit our partner nations, to see how they operate and I can learn from them.”
“Medics are always needed and the Army keeps me busy. I like to see what the Army has to offer.”
Spc. Anthony Eich, a combat medic with Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, poses after an airborne drop during Swift Response 2025 at Unity Drop Zone, Adazi, Latvia, May 17, 2025.
DEFENDER 25 is the largest annual U.S. Army exercise in Europe, incorporating approximately 25,000 soldiers from 29 Allied and partner nations to rehearse the ability to rapidly deploy forces, integrate and expand multi-domain operations capability, and demonstrate combined command and control structures. Simultaneous operations will take place during three exercises—Swift Response, Immediate Response, and Saber Guardian—across 15 countries, building readiness and interoperability between the U.S., NATO Allies, and partner nations from May 11 to June 24, 2025.
