U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 252nd Military Police Company, 117th Military Police Battalion, 194th Engineer Brigade, Tennessee Army National Guard, position High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles in preparation for a wet gap crossing during exercise Immediate Response 25 near Xanthi, Greece, May 30, 2025. Seizing and controlling key terrain such as bridges and mobility corridors is essential for militaries to maintain mobility of supplies and reinforcements in order to overwhelm opposing forces. 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.
