The U.S. and Croatian Army regularly cooperate during many exercises, allowing for better collaboration and exchange of experience. Given that Croatia has long acquired U.S. equipment for its soldiers, this kind of cooperation allows for faster and better familiarisation with the weapons purchased and facilitates the training process. Thus, the presence of American soldiers from, among others, the 41st Field Artillery Brigade, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and the Field Artillery Division that is part of it is nothing strange.
