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.

Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers with Detachment 1, Company C, and Detachment 3, Company D, 2nd Battalion, 211th General Support Aviation Battalion, conduct hoist training and air maneuver operations with members of the 186th Military Police Company in September 2025. The training took place as the aviation units neared the end of their year-long deployment to Kosovo in support of NATO’s Kosovo Force peacekeeping mission, known as Operation Joint Guardian. During the deployment, the 33 Soldiers supported multinational operations with three UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, trained more than 2,000 NATO personnel in air medevac procedures, executed nine air medevac missions, and dropped over 73,000 gallons of water in response to a large-scale forest fire.
