Over 340 pieces of rolling stock and High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems staged and ready for distribution to 1st Battalion, 182nd Field Artillery Regiment May 5 in Adazi, Latvia. The HIMARS and all equipment issued to 1-182 FAR will be utilized for the Defender 2023 exercise with an expected return on or about May 26. DEFENDER 23 is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa led exercise focused on the strategic deployment of continental United States-based forces, employment of Army Prepositioned Stocks, and interoperability with Allies and partners. Taking place from 22 April to 23 June, DEFENDER 23 demonstrates USAREUR-AF’s ability to aggregate U.S.-based combat power quickly in Eastern Europe, increase lethality of the NATO Alliance through long-distance fires, build unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverage host nation capabilities to increase USAREUR-AF’s operational reach.
