Spanish Army paratroopers assigned to the 6th Paratrooper Brigade "Almogavares" wait for instructions during Exercise Swift Response 25 at Riga International Airport, Latvia, May 16, 2025. 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. 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.
