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.

Alaska Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopter aviators assigned to the 207th Aviation Troop Command conducted Bambi Bucket water drops in response to the Nelchina Glacier fire near Eureka Roadhouse, Alaska, June 21-22, 2025. Working with the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection, the AKARNG provided two Black Hawks, each equipped with a Bambi Bucket, to augment the fire suppression efforts. Each bucket drop delivers up to 700 gallons of water, giving crews the ability to cool the fire's edge and decrease spread. Targeted water drops also reduce areas of intense heat and create safer conditions for firefighters on the ground. At marker 4:41, the last clip shows a full water drop sequence.
