U.S. Army Sgt. Chandler Stoutenburg, a multiple launch rocket system crewmember with the 1st Battalion, 182nd Field Artillery Regiment, Michigan Army National Guard, awaits for final travel instructions before traveling to a M142 High Mobility Artillery Systems (HIMARS) launch site in Undva, Estonia for a live test-fire, May 14, 2023. Military exercises with our Allies and partner nations such as DEFENDER 23 in the European theater remain an integral part of demonstrating alliance readiness, interoperability, and capability.
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. DEFENDER 23 includes more than 7,000 U.S. and 17,000 multi-national service members from more than 20 nations who will participate including, but not limited to: Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States.
