Gen. Raimundas Vaiksnoras, Chief of Defense of Lithuania, discusses operations at Allied Spirit '25 with Major General Curtis D. Taylor, Commanding General of the 1st Armored Division, U.S. Army, on March 12, 2025 during media day. Unlike other exercises, which feature U.S. brigade combat teams in a lead role, Allied Spirit places an Allied unit as the main training audience, in this case Lithuania. (Photo by U.S. Army Capt.
