U.S. Army Capt. Ryan Wong, the commander of Phoenix Battery, 2nd Cavalry Squadron, Field Artillery Regiment, prepares to fire the M777 towed 155mm howitzer during Saber Strike 24 at Bemowo Piskie Training Area in Poland April 19, 2024. The howitzer uses a digital fire-control system similar to that found on self-propelled howitzers such as the M109A6 Paladin to provide navigation, pointing and self-location, allowing it to be put into action quickly and accurately. DEFENDER is the Dynamic Employment of Forces to Europe for NATO Deterrence and Enhanced Readiness, and is a U.S. European Command scheduled, U.S. Army Europe and Africa conducted exercise that consists of Saber Strike, Immediate Response, and Swift Response. DEFENDER 24 is linked to NATO’s Steadfast Defender exercise, and DoD’s Large Scale Global Exercise, taking place from 28 March to 31 May.
