Giving Back...The Speed and Power Way

By Staff Sgt. Antonio VincentApril 26, 2016

Soldiers of 3-69 AR arrived in Poland from Fort Stewart, GA and immediately started making an impact in the community by joining the citizens of Drawsko in an effort to give back to the Earth. During this year's Earth Day, Soldiers and citizens managed to plant over 300 trees across 10 acres of land. This type of communication involvement shows the relationship that is continuously built as Operation Atlantic Resolve continues to move forward.

Operation Atlantic Resolve is a demonstration of continued U.S. commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure NATO allies and partners of America's dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region in light of the Russian intervention in Ukraine.

Since April 2014, Army Europe has led land forces efforts on behalf of the U.S. military, by conducting continuous, enhanced multinational training and security cooperation activities with allies and partners in eastern Europe.

These multinational training and security cooperation activities are taking place in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. These training events improve interoperability, strengthen relationships and trust among allied armies, contribute to regional stability, and demonstrate U.S. commitment to NATO.

Operation Atlantic Resolve demonstrates the U.S. commitment to the security of NATO allies on air, land and at sea. To ensure its own security, NATO must have strong, committed and capable allies, which is why the United States has fought, exercised and trained with our European allies for the past 70 years. The U.S.-European strategic partnership is built on a foundation of shared values, experiences and commitment to a Europe that is stable and prosperous.
