MARIJAMPOLE, Lithuania -- Soldiers, assigned to C Battery, Field Artillery Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, conducted a refuel on the move during Dragoon Shock, Feb. 15.
The troopers were greeted by the Lithuanian Logistical Command Main Support Battalion at Marijampole Supply Base.
The joint fueling operation demonstrated interoperability and the ability to quickly integrate with host nation support during their Dragoon Shock.
Before travelling from Vilseck, Germany, C Battery was told to be ready to move at any given time within 96 hours of notification for Dragoon Shock, a rapid deployment exercise. The road march ended in Rukla, Lithuania.
"Dragoon Shock is basically to reassure our NATO allies that we will be here [demonstrating] America's commitment to their security," said Spc. Tobias Garza, a C Battery cannon crewmember, during a previous stop in Turon, Poland. "It's also to show our command and control abilities and our abilities to move freely through NATO boundaries."
