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.

Family, Farming, & Service - The Shepherd Family Legacy

This Thanksgiving season, the Iowa National Guard recognizes service members who serve in more ways than one—defending our freedoms while cultivating the land that sustains us all.

Senior Master Sgt. Bobby Shepherd Sr. embodies this spirit of dual service. Since 1956, the Shepherd family has proudly worn the Iowa Air National Guard uniform while remaining deeply rooted in their Iowa farming heritage.

Today, Shepherd carries on that legacy alongside his two sons. From feeding cows at sunrise to maintaining vehicles at the 132d Wing, his commitment to both his family farm and his nation highlights the enduring values of service and dedication.
