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.

July 15, 2025 | 1:13
The 374th Air Expeditionary Wing Innovation Lab produced more than fifty 3D-printed bomblets to support explosive ordnance disposal Airmen from the 35th Civil Engineer Squadron at Misawa Air Base, Japan, July 10, 2025, during exercise REFORPAC 25.
In response to a request from the 35 CES EOD flight to innovation cells across Pacific Air Forces, Yokota’s Innovation Lab was tasked with producing high-quality, realistic training devices to safely simulate live ordnance. The 3D-printed assets will enhance tactical realism and mission readiness throughout REFORPAC 25.
REFORPAC 25 is Pacific Air Forces’ largest-ever contingency response exercise, designed to train military members to maintain readiness and execute missions under stress in a complex, distributed environment.
As part of the first-in-a-generation Department-Level Exercise series, REFORPAC is a new way of conducting operations in a contested, dynamic environment to build capabilities making a stronger, more lethal deterrent force. The DLE series encompasses all branches of the Department of Defense, along with Allies and partners, employing more than 350 joint and coalition aircraft and more than 12,000 members at more than 50 locations across 3,000 miles.
