JACKSON, Tenn. — Equipment from the Tennessee National Guard’s 194th Engineer Brigade headquartered in Jackson has arrived in Germany to support Atlantic Resolve. About 1,000 personnel from Tennessee and Alabama soon will arrive there as well to operate engineering equipment and provide security training, according to a release from the Tennessee National Guard. “In light of the on-going Russian intervention in Ukraine, the effort to demonstrate America’s commitment to the collective security of our NATO allies and overall support for our partners in Europe is critical,” the release states. The support is part of Resolute Castle 15, a component of the larger NATO Exercise, the release states. The 194th Engineer Brigade will work jointly with Bulgarian and Romanian partners by constructing new training areas, improving infrastructure and executing joint security training, according to the release.
