U.S. Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Brian Reed, a mass communications noncommissioned officer with the 206th Broadcast Operations Detachment, 63rd Readiness Division, provides public affairs support for Exercise Immediate Response 24 on May 14, 2024, at the Libava military training area, Czech Republic.
“Public affairs is out here to cover and capture the training for Defender Europe, not just for our U.S. Soldiers, but also for our NATO allies and partners that we are out here to train with,” the Victoria, Virginia native said. “We're capturing history. We're telling the Army story. For those people who don't even understand how all this works, they now get a glimpse into just a small part of what it takes to execute a mission of this magnitude.”
