Lt. Col. Andrew Underwood, Chief of the Office of Defense Cooperation, U.S. Embassy in Estonia, talks about the U.S., Latvian, and Estonian military personnel conducting a live test-fire of the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System during a training exercise for Swift Response 23 in Undva, Estonia, May 14, 2023. Swift Response 23, one of three linked exercises for DEFENDER 23, serves as a military exercise with Allies and partner nations in the European theater to remain an integral part of demonstrating alliance readiness, interoperability, and capability.
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.
