On December 1, 2023, U.S. Army soldiers from the 2nd squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, arrived at Skopje International Airport to download Strykers for Brave Partner 23. 

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2CR) is the oldest Cavalry organization in the U.S. Army, with a history dating back to 1836. The regiment's motto is "Toujours Pret," which is French for "Always Ready". 

The 2CR's mission is to provide a rapid deployment force for the V Corps and U.S. Army Europe and Africa. The force's purpose is to: 
Assure allies
Deter adversaries
Defend the NATO Alliance

The 2CR's unit patch includes a yellow eight-pointed star, which was worn by dragoons, and a green palmetto leaf, which symbolizes the regiment's first combat against the Seminole Indians in Florida.
