    U.S. Army Sgt. Hae Htoo, a military police officer assigned to the 603rd Military Police Company, poses for a picture with an Estonian child during the celebration of Estonia’s Restoration of Independence Day in Tallinn, Estonia, Aug. 20, 2026. By connecting with local families beyond the training environment, U.S. Soldiers helped build the trust, familiarity and mutual respect that strengthen the bond between the United States and Estonia. 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. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
