Elijah Aceret, a gunner with Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 41st Field Artillery Regiment, discuss Exercise Crystal Arrow 2025 in the Vidzeme region, Latvia, May 9, 2025. Exercise Crystal Arrow 2025 focuses on brigade-level operations, training full-scale defense operations in conventional warfare, aiming to replicate real-life scenarios as closely as possible.
