 Soldiers with the 3rd Battalion, 66 Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, represented the United States at NATO Day in Vilnius, Lithuania. U.S. Soldiers experienced firsthand the appreciation of the Lithuanian people. It allowed the soldiers to understand the importance of NATO and what it means to the Lithuanian citizens. Allies and partners are key to the U.S. overall strength. As they respect and value one another, they build a more cohesive team. Living and training alongside our NATO allies and partners on a daily basis strengthens interoperability and improves communication, enhancing the allies' ability to anticipate, react, move, and communicate as a cohesive team.
