Valon Bilalli, Kosovo Security Force Hazmat Company conducts hands-on training on standard operating procedures for decontaminating infected vehicles during Defender Europe 2023. The goal of Defender Europe 23 is to foster closer relationships, increase readiness, and enhance interoperability among service members of the New Jersey Army National Guard and the Albanian Army. DEFENDER 23 is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) joint exercise designed to enable combat-ready, multinational forces. DEFENDER 23 demonstrates USAREUR-AF’s ability to aggregate U.S.-based combat power quickly in Eastern Europe, increase lethality of the NATO alliance, build unit readiness in a complex, joint, multinational environment, and leverage host nation capabilities to increase USAREUR-AF’s operational reach. DEFENDER 23 takes place April 22 to June 23 and includes more than 7,000 U.S. and 17,000 multi-national service members from more than 20 nations. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Spc. Kevin Church)
