About 110 soldiers with the South Dakota National Guard’s 155th Engineer Company will participate in Operation Resolute Castle, a multinational-joint training exercise in Romania from June 12-July 1, 2022.
Resolute Castle is conducted annually in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve and provides a training opportunity for Reserve, National Guard and active component soldiers to work alongside NATO engineer forces to complete construction projects in Europe and enhance readiness and interoperability of military units.
The Wagner and Parkston-based 155th Engineer Company will participate in three construction projects during its three-week rotation, where they will conduct artillery range improvements and repairs for roads, firing points and moving armored targets.
Soldiers from the 155th have been participating in planning events and coordination meetings since August 2021. Resolute Castle is typically executed by six engineer rotations with the host nation alternating between Romania and Poland every year since 2015.
Resolute Castle also increases U.S. Army Europe’s ability to deter aggression, support allies and NATO partners, improve local infrastructure at forward training areas in Europe, and enhance the bonds between ally and partner militaries.
