Soldiers and their multinational partners conduct an icebreaker event, sharing food together following an orientation for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE) training at exercise Immediate Response 25 in Alexandroupoli, Greece, June 1, 2025. The icebreaker gave service members of 12 participating nations an opportunity to meet and discuss upcoming training missions as part of this large-scale CBRNE exercise to complete joint missions and strengthen interoperability across the region.
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.
