U.S. Army Lt. Col. Douglas McDonough, commander of 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, talks about the history of Lithuanian Land Forces Day and his unit’s participation alongside NATO allies, following the Land Forces Day ceremony in Kryzkalnis, Lithuania, July 15, 2024. The ceremony commemorates a 15th-century Lithuanian military victory, and this year’s event marked the 80th anniversary of the beginning of Lithuania’s post-war opposition to Soviet occupation. The 1st Cavalry Division’s mission is to engage in multinational training and exercises across the continent, strengthening interoperability with NATO allies and regional security partners, which provides competent and ready forces to V Corps, America’s forward-deployed corps in Europe.
