EYGELSHOVEN, Netherlands \u2013 The first Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 equipment piece from the Eygelshoven APS-2 worksite was prepared by Army Field Support Battalion-Benelux for departure April 8 before heading to Romania to be issued to a gaining tactical unit at an Equipment Configuration and Hand-off Area during the Resolute Castle 24 exercise.<\/p>\n

A company\u2019s worth of horizontal engineer construction equipment from the Eygelshoven APS-2 worksite \u2013 over 150 major end items like bulldozers, scrapers and backhoes \u2013 is to be issued to an Army horizontal engineer construction company from the U.S. participating in Resolute Castle 24. Horizontal engineer construction equipment can be used to build roads and other horizontal projects, such as parking, storage and staging areas.<\/p>\n

Resolute Castle, which is not part of DEFENDER 24, 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.<\/p>\n

Completely separate from this APS-2 operation in Eygelshoven and part of DEFENDER 24, APS-2 equipment from Zutendaal, Belgium; Mannheim, Germany; D\u00fclmen, Germany; and Livorno, Italy, will be sent forward and issued to multiple gaining tactical units from the U.S. in Poland, Germany, and Czechia during DEFENDER 24.<\/p>\n

DEFENDER 24 is focused on the strategic deployment of continental, U.S.-based forces, employment of APS, and interoperability with Allies and partners at exercise locations across 13 European countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cDEFENDER 24 compliments NATO\u2019s Steadfast Defender 24, the Alliance\u2019s largest military exercise since the Cold War, and demonstrates the United States\u2019 ability to rapidly deploy forces to Europe to defend America\u2019s security interests and every inch of NATO territory,\u201d said Gen. Darryl Williams, commanding general for U.S. Army Europe and Africa and NATO\u2019s Allied Land Command.<\/p>\n

The 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s APS-2 program provides turn-key power projection packages ready to deploy at a moment\u2019s notice while helping to reduce the amount of equipment needed from the deploying forces\u2019 home stations. APS-2 sites help reduce deployment timelines, improve deterrence capabilities and provide additional combat power for contingency operations. APS-2 equipment may also be drawn for use in training and exercises.<\/p>\n

The 405th AFSB is assigned to U.S. Army Sustainment Command and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The brigade provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging U.S. Army Materiel Command\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.
