    U.S. Army Maj. Sean Marquis, executive officer, 2nd Battalion, 37th Armored Regiment, and commander of the British army’s B Squadron of the Light Dragoons, NATO Forward Land Forces (FLF) Battle Group-Poland, await an honoring gift during the Polish Territorial Defence Force’s 44th Light Infantry Battalion commemorative receipt of a distinctive patron name ceremony, Sept. 12, 2026, in Ełk, Poland. The battalion inherits the values, bravery, and historical ethos of that patron. V Corps strongly encourages forward-deployed Soldiers, including those assigned to NATO’s FLF Battle Group–Poland, to participate in Polish historical and community events and honor the nation’s history.
