Members of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union and U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to Chosen Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, pose for a group photo in front of a German Leopard 2 main battle tank after completing close quarters battle training at Pabradė Training Area, Lithuania, May 24, 2026. The class is part of the LRU Commando School, a nine-week program designed to build a self-sustaining cadre of trained Lithuanian volunteers capable of leading small-team operations across all 10 LRU districts. The Leopard, operated by Germany as part of NATO's enhanced Forward Presence battlegroup in Lithuania, reflects the multinational character of the alliance's deterrence posture along the eastern flank.
