the black horse troop was deployed to lithuania to take part in 122 a bilateral exercise with the
lithuanian armed forces folks going on anti-tank capabilities as a reconnaissance squadron two of
the main anti-tank capabilities that we have our n-law which is relatively short-range kind
of three to four hundred meters ideally anti-tank capability carried on pretty much every vehicle
and there's a more deliberate kind of slightly longer range anti-tank capability
we have the javelin missile out to two two and a half kilometers
that allow us to deliver that slightly longer range anti-tank capability
so
my the strength of nato is the alliance and the different nations within it
and the ability to come here train alongside our lithuanian partners
and then conduct joint exercises is kind of real proof of that
and the soldiers get a lot out of it as well kind of meeting soldiers from other nations and
learning about how they do things and learning and improving both nations as a result of it we are
continuing to conduct our mission to demonstrate our readiness to ensure that we're interoperable
with our nato allies and our other partners and to make sure that we're ready for whatever comes
