Yoojin Thyne, right, assigned to Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, speak with a member of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union who served as opposing force following a simulated raid during the validation exercise of the LRU Commando School at Bezdonys, Lithuania, June 13, 2026. LRU members role-played the defending opposition during the simulated raid, testing the graduating class on the company assault and close quarters battle skills built across the nine-week program. The LRU is a state-supported volunteer national defense organization of approximately 20,000 members focused on national defense, military training and community resilience. 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. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
