 Florida National Guard soldiers from the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team prepare to mobilize as part of an army exercise called Defender Europe. The primary exercise that we are affiliated with is Immediate Response 21 which takes place in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzkovena, North Macedonia, Greece and Albania. We are training with partner nations as well as completing our annual training objectives. Captain Britton, the 53rd Assistant Training Officer says that they are taking many safety measures to prepare. We're mitigating risk with regards to COVID by conducting rapid antigen tests, PCR tests prior to deployment, as well as implementing other mitigation factors such as wearing masks and trying to social distance wherever we can. From the 107th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, this is Sergeant Jacob Turenna.
