FARKE, ALBANIA, May 27, 2023 – U.S. Army Reserve Capt. Jacob Cantu assigned to the 211th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment trades patches with Capt. Gerald Baramuca of the Albanian Air Force. Trading patches has been a long standing method of building camaraderie and strengthening NATO partnerships. 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 Maj. Maria Olea)
