U.S. Army Spc. Yulian Hoyos, a Soldier with the 102nd Infantry Battalion, 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain) poses for a photo with Greek Forces at Petrochori Army Base, in Xanthi, Greece, May 28th, 2025. Hoyos was invited to take a photograph after joint training with the Greek soldiers in air assault techniques. 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.
