CINCU, Romania—Soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division launch defensive attacks during a Joint Allied Demonstration Day (JAPDD) as a part of STEADFAST DEFENDER 21 here, June 1. STEADFAST DEFENDER 21 is the first in a new series of long-planned NATO-led exercises that ensure international forces can operate together and maintain the ability to respond to any threat from any direction. The event included 12 different counties and a total of 4,000 troops. Exercises like STEADFAST DEFENDER 21 are completely defensive and transparent in nature and fall in line with NATOs international commitment.
STEADFAST DEFENDER is associated with DEFENDER-Europe 21, which is a large-scale U.S. Army-led exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability between the U.S., NATO allies and partner militaries. This year, more than 28,000 multinational forces from 26 nations will conduct nearly simultaneous operations across more than 30 training areas in 14 countries from the Baltics to the strategically important Balkans and Black Sea Region.
