U.S. Army Cpt. Leonel J. Flores-Ramirez, Swift Response rotary wing Officer in charge, 244th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, describes the port operation for DEFENDER 24 held at Kalundborg, Denmark, Apr 20, 2024. This is the first time the U.S. Army has utilized this seaport for port operations, marking a new logistical pathway that enhances U.S. strategic flexibility and reach to the “High North” in order to defend its NATO allies. Military exercises involving NATO allies and partner nations in the European theater remain an integral part of demonstrating our capability, our readiness, and interoperability.
