U.S Army Cpt. Renika J. Pruitt, S3-Operations Officer, 838th Transportation Battalion, describes the port operation for DEFENDER 24 held at Kalundborg, Denmark, Apr 20, 2024. This is the first time the U.S. Army has utilized this seaport for port operations, marking a new logistical pathway that enhances U.S. strategic flexibility and reach to the “High North” in order to defend its NATO allies.
