U.S Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Scaponi, left, and U.S. Army Capt. Aaron Eyerly, both assigned to the 418th Civil Affairs Battalion, pose for a photo with members of a Lithuanian car club at American Spirit 2026 at the Druskininkai Airfield in Druskininkai, Lithuania, July 31, 2026. Civil Affairs Soldiers work to understand local communities and relay what they learn to commanders, giving U.S. forces a clearer picture of the population they operate alongside. 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.
