A French soldier poses for a photo while carrying a sandbag during a Day of Bir Hakeim 10K mud race at Tapa Army Base, Estonia, June 10, 2026. The event commemorates the Battle of Bir Hakeim, where Free French forces mounted a determined defense against Axis troops during World War II. The race brought together service members from NATO nations to build camaraderie and celebrate a shared military heritage. 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.
