About Resolute Castle

Exercise Resolute Castle is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa led, multinational, joint exercise which marries U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard, as well as allied and partner nation engineering unit training opportunities with the completion of real world construction projects that enhance training capabilities in various areas of Europe's eastern member-states. Resolute Castle is designed to reinforce regional partnerships and promote interoperability with host nation forces by providing improvements to existing infrastructure.

Resolute Castle 24 utilizes U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and NATO engineers to increase partner capacity and strengthen capabilities across NATO’s eastern member states through real-world engineer-related training and the expansion of infrastructure in support of defender-series exercises.

Mortar Teams conduct a live fire exercise at Red Cloud Range using 60, 81, and 120mm mortars during the 2024 International Best Mortar Competition at Fort Moore, Ga., April 11. 2024. The International Best Mortar Competition, April 6-11, consists of teams across U.S. forces and partner nations vying for the title of Best Mortar Crew. Only those qualified in an indirect fire (mortar) military occupational specialty or those with additional skill identifiers may compete. Mortars have the most power and range of any weapon in an infantry unit. Indirect Fire Soldiers are members of a mortar squad, section, or platoon. They carry out scout missions to spot enemy troops, gun locations, and operate two-way radios and signal equipment to relay battle orders. The Best Mortar Competition highlights the capabilities of mortar crews and gives spectators an inside-look at combat tactics. (Video by Toygar Ayla)
