U.S. Army Pfc. Juan Elancara, assigned to the 82nd Combat Engineer Company–Armored, 16th Engineer Battalion, displays his team’s first-place medal from the Army obstacle course competition alongside members of the Croatian armed forces during an award ceremony commemorating Croatian Victory Day at the Bemowo Piskie Training Area on Aug. 5, 2026. Teams from the NATO Forward Land Forces (FLF) Battle Group-Poland competed in soccer, volleyball and Army obstacle course competitions from Aug. 2-5. The competition coincided with Croatia’s Victory Day on Aug. 5, which commemorates the Croatian War of Independence. The three-day competition reinforced the interoperability and readiness of the NATO FLF Battle Group along the alliance’s eastern flank, while giving troops an opportunity to enjoy themselves and strengthen esprit de corps.
