  holistic readiness with our Thai counterparts," the Executive Officer of 3rd Squadron, 4th
  Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. In addition to
  multinational training, Pacific Pathways meets the requirement to provide a force able to
  rapidly adapt to emerging challenges across multiple domains. "We trained alongside of them
  at JRTC (Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, Louisiana)," the Executive Officer said.
  "We were very impressed with their professionalism and how they seamlessly integrated into
  the team and we're looking forward to training with them over the course of several months,"
  he added. The ability of both nations' military forces to work together is beneficial, and was
  most recently highlighted by the U.S. participation in the Thai-led effort to rescue the Wild
  Boar soccer team from a cave in northern Thailand. "We're hoping to build on the already
  established relationship with them (Royal Thai Army) in order to further drive our influence
  within the Southeast Asian area of operations," said the Officer in Charge, assigned to 3rd
  Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.
  This Pacific Pathways mission has captured the world's attention, and the United States are

  they themselves have created is one which will be resolved on new terms" Extending the

  5-4 “U.S. Army Europe has led the Department of Defense’s Atlantic Resolve land efforts by bringing
  units based in the U.S. to Europe for nine months at a time. Atlantic Resolve provides these
  rotational units with the ability to build readiness, increase interoperability and enhances the
  bond between ally and partner militaries through multinational training events. There are three
  types of Atlantic Resolve rotations – armored, aviation and sustainment task forces. These
  rotations are overseen by a US Army Division (Forward), a regionally aligned headquarters
  based in Poznan, Poland. These deployments of ready, combat-credible U.S. forces to Europe
  in support of Atlantic Resolve is evidence of the strong and unremitting U.S. commitment to
  NATO and Europe.” Available at https://www.dvidshub.net/feature/AtlanticResolve.

  forces demonstrated threatening actions against US forces and its partners. After significant
  and appropriate warnings to cease the threatening actions, US forces conducted lethal air to

  ceased" As stated by a U.S. representative. HIMARS deploys to Syria for first time, UPI,
