U.S. Army Pfc. Aidarbek Raev, a unit supply specialist with Dog Company, 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, talks with military contractors about a construction project in Panevezys, Lithuania, Aug. 26, 2015. Raev, a native of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, is fluent in Russian, the second-most common language in Lithuania.
