Multi-national distinguished visitors observe a military demonstration for a distinguished visitor engagement during Immediate Response 25 as a part of DEFENDER 25 at Krivolak Training Area, Krivolak, North Macedonia, June 2, 2025. Among the distinguished visitors was U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Gregory Knight, Vermont National Guard adjutant general, Maj. Gen. Levon Cumpton, chief of staff and deputy commanding general for the Army National Guard, U.S. Army Europe and Africa, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, President of North Macedonia, the Cabinet of the President of North Macedonia, and representatives from the countries of each of the participating armed forces. Demonstrating global deterrence and the U.S. Army’s ability to rapidly deploy U.S.-based combat power in Europe and the Arctic region alongside Allies and partners, DEFENDER 25 brings U.S. troops together with forces from 29 Allied and partner nations to build readiness through large-scale combat training from May 11-June 24, 2025. DEFENDER 25 increases the lethality of the NATO alliance through large-scale tactical training maneuvers and long-range fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multinational environment and leverages host nation capabilities to increase the U.S. Army’s operational reach. During three large-scale combat training exercises—Swift Response, Immediate Response, and Saber Guardian—Ally and partner forces integrate and expand multi-domain operations capability, demonstrating combined command and control structures and readiness to respond to crisis and conflict.
