U.S., U.K. and French soldiers participate in a Day of Bir Hakeim 10K mud race at Tapa Army Base, Estonia, June 10, 2026. The event honored the legacy of the Battle of Bir Hakeim, where Free French and French Foreign Legion forces mounted a determined defense for 16 days against Axis troops in 1942, and challenged participants with a series of obstacles designed to test endurance and teamwork. 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.
