    1st Lt. Joseph Williams, 50th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 5th Engineer Battalion, received equipment from 405th Army Field Support Brigade at Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base, Romania, May 19, 2023. Williams oversees the 50th Multi-Role Bridge Tactical Operation Center throughout the duration of Saber Guardian 2023, a DEFENDER 23-linked exercise. Hailing from Killeen, Texas, Williams is looking forward to learning from and training with the Romanian-led multinational division during wet gap crossings in Frecatei and Bordusani, Romania for Saber Guardian 23.

    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.
