U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 252nd Military Police Company, 117th Military Police Battalion, 194th Engineer Brigade, Tennessee Army National Guard, position vehicles prior to a wet gap crossing exercise during exercise Immediate Response 25 near Xanthi, Greece, May 30, 2025. Wet gap crossings are complex military operations intended to rapidly move vehicles across an inland water obstacle, requiring extensive planning, coordination and detailed preparations. 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.
