Brig. Gen. Chris McKinney, Deputy Director, J-5 for U.S. European Command, addresses service members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Kosovo Security Forces, and Albanian Armed Forces in appreciation of a job well done during Immediate Response 25 in Bize Albania, June 9, 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.
