President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, center left, and U.S. Ambassador to Latvia Melissa Argyros, center right, address Soldiers of 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, during a visit to U.S. and Latvian forces at Lielvārde Air Base, Latvia, June 26, 2026. Rinkēvičs thanked the Soldiers for their service in Latvia and their role in safeguarding Baltic airspace, while Argyros pointed to the unit's presence as a sign of the U.S. commitment to the NATO alliance. 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.
