U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class, Bo Willoughby, an instructor at the Army Mountain Warfare School, instructs soldiers with the 1st Squadron, 172nd Cavalry Regiment (Mountain), 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain), Vermont Army National Guard, U.S. Marines with the 2nd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, and Greek Forces, during a training on Mount Olympus, Greece, June 1st, 2025. Willoughby displays how a munter hitch will function in a rope system once a load is attached, prior to conducting repelling and medevac training exercises.
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.
