To demonstrate Allies’ determination to defend Alliance territory, the US Army extended the deployment of the 3rd Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment after Russia invaded Ukraine. It was the fourth battalion to be sent to Lithuania since 2019, when the Lithuanian government requested the deployment of a cavalry squadron.

This NATO Multimedia footage, filmed 29th March, includes shots of troops and vehicles from the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United States manoeuvring and practising combat in dense woodlands, as well as a selection of cinematic slow motion shots recorded without sound.
