U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to Echo Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, organize sectors of fire during the force-on-force phase of Project Flytrap at PabradÄ— Training Area, Lithuania, May 8, 2026. The force-on-force phase pits U.S. Soldiers against British paratroopers from the U.K. Parachute Regiment in a series of simulated engagements designed to test counter-unmanned aerial system integration in a contested environment. From April 27 to May 31, 2026, U.S. and Allied forces will conduct Project Flytrap as part of a series of linked exercises, including Sword 26, Saber Strike, Immediate Response, and Swift Response, which transform experimentation into capability. During Project Flytrap, Soldiers integrate counter-unmanned systems, AI-enabled command and control, and live data networks to move faster, decide faster, and fight more effectively across all domains.
