    U.S. Army Pfc. Evan Clausell, assigned to Echo Troop, 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, provides the first cut in the cake during a U.S. Army Birthday ceremony at Tapa Army Base, Estonia, June 15, 2026. It is Army tradition for the oldest and youngest Soldiers present to cut the cake, serving as a reminder of the service’s enduring heritage and symbolizing the passing of history, knowledge and tradition from one generation of Soldiers to the next. 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.
