    Members of the 1011 Grajewo Rifle Unit prepare for the 82nd anniversary of the Battle of Osowe Grzędy at the Biebrza National Park in the Osowe Grzędy area, Poland, Sept. 8, 2026. The Battle of Osowe Grzędy is one of the largest and most fiercely partisan battles fought by the Polish 9th Horse Cavalry Riflemen Regiment of the Home Army against Nazi German forces during World War II. V Corps strongly encourages forward-deployed Soldiers, including those assigned to NATO’s Forward Land Forces Battle Group–Poland, to participate in Polish historical and community events and honor the nation’s history.
