Nordhaus and U.S. military representatives visited the U.S. European Command area of responsibility, meeting with delegation officials, military leaders and deployed U.S. forces. These visits sought to boost interoperability, strengthened regional deterrence and supported V Corps’ commitment to deterring aggression alongside NATO Allies on the Eastern Flank. V Corps is the U.S. Army's only forward-deployed corps, serving as the senior tactical headquarters for Army forces in Eastern Europe to deter conflict and provide combat-ready forces alongside our NATO Allies. V Corps is operationalizing and expanding the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative with Allies, rapidly integrating emerging technologies into training and tactical plans.
