    U.S. Army Sgt. Mellody Jansma, a military police officer assigned to the 603rd Military Police Company, 109th Military Police Battalion, sprints to the finish line of the six-mile ruck march on the final day of Dark Knight competition held at Ādaži Military Base, Latvia, Sept. 11, 2026. The final day challenged Soldiers with a demanding ruck march, testing their physical endurance, mental resilience and ability to push through fatigue as they competed for the title. 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.
