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.

41st IBCT Infantry Conducts Combined Arms Urban Assault

Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry Regiment (Volunteers Battalion), Oregon Army National Guard, execute a complex urban assault operation on Range 25 during Annual Training on April 3, 2025 at Yakima Training Center, Washington. The training is critical preparation for their upcoming Horn of Africa deployment.

The operation demonstrates the full spectrum of infantry and combat engineer integration. It begins with weapons squad and battalion snipers establishing fire superiority from elevated support-by-fire positions to suppress the objective. Once enemy positions are contained, sappers from 741st Brigade Engineer Battalion breach wire obstacles using Bangalore torpedoes, creating access points for infantry assault teams to enter the urban environment.

Infantry soldiers conduct multiple door breaches, demonstrating effective room-clearing techniques with precision and coordination. After methodically securing their objective, the platoon transitions to defensive operations, culminating with the tactical employment of claymore mines to secure their perimeter.

This exercise represents essential combat capabilities being refined before the battalion's Horn of Africa deployment, demonstrating why Oregon National Guard soldiers remain Connected to our communities, Competent in our capabilities, and Committed to excellence in all we do.
