Personnel from the French and British armed forces help each other climb over an obstacle during the Day of Bir Hakeim 10K mud race at Tapa Army Base, Estonia, June 10, 2026. Hosted by the French Foreign Legion, the obstacle-filled mud race commemorated the Battle of Bir Hakeim, where Free French forces, including Foreign Legion units, conducted a heroic defense against Axis forces in 1942, demonstrating resilience and contributing to the legacy of the Free French movement during World War II. 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.
