A U.S. Army Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) assigned to the 7th Engineer Brigade is lifted by a crane to be loaded onto a barge during a barge transportation operation supporting Saber Guardian 25 in Passau, Bayern, Germany, on May 21, 2025. River vessels provide the U.S. Army with a tactical advantage by using waterways instead of standard air, rail, or linehaul methods. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Sgt Jacob Connor)
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.
