Exercises such as Thunderbolt Convergence are critical as NATO member states continue to receive equipment through the European HIMARS initiative, a U.S.-led NATO collaboration to enhance alliance-wide interoperability and expertise in rocket artillery through HIMARS-focused summits, training and fielding efforts.
Nixon said 3-321 FAR is directly involved in the success of the European HIMARS initiative as the headquarters element of Task Force Voit in Estonia.
“We have a platoon that is forward-deployed to Estonia called Task Force Voit, assisting and training the Estonian military as they receive the HIMARS later this summer,” Nixon said. “Our battalion here in Germany is also training in partnership with Lithuania, who is the next Baltic nation to receive HIMARS. We are training to help prepare them to receive their launchers in 2027.”
By rotating 3-321 FAR into the European theater, the U.S. Army demonstrates its unwavering commitment to NATO allies and the collective defense of Europe. The rotational nature of these forces strengthens the combat credibility of V Corps and underscores the U.S. Army’s dedication to regional security and deterrence across the European theater.
