“It was easier interacting with our Allies and partners than I thought it would be; I thought there would be some communication barriers. Honestly, they’re very similar to us. People just aren’t that different from place to place.”
U.S. Army Spc. Cainin Duran, a paratrooper with 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, poses after an interview during Swift Response 2025 at Setermoen, Norway May 16, 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.
