    ELEFSIS, Greece – Paratroopers from 5th Quartermaster Theater Aerial Delivery Company prepare to jump out of the back of an Air Force C-130 cargo plane at the Greek Air Force Base here Apr. 6. Thirteen Kaiserslautern-based Soldiers and Greek riggers participated in a training exercise named Spartan Hellenic, which focused on building airdrop interoperability. The American Army unit, 5th QM, 39th Transportation Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, and the Greek Air Force unit, the 865th Aerial Delivery Battalion, use theater airdrops to resupply warfighters with food and equipment they need to continue to do their job via containers on platforms pushed out of C-130 cargo planes.

    Two military personnel are shown on what appears to be an airfield tarmac, with one individual in olive green flight suit checking or adjusting the parachute harness of another soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform. The person in the flight suit has a patch on his right shoulder displaying a Greek flag, suggesting this may be a joint or multinational military exercise. A third military figure is partially visible in the background near what appears to be a forklift or ground support vehicle.
    Military personnel from what appear to be multiple nations are collaborating on a hands-on training exercise involving rigging or load equipment with chains and straps. Three individuals in the foreground are working together to connect or secure a chain assembly, while additional uniformed personnel observe in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor military facility or hangar.
    Military personnel from what appear to be two different armed forces are working on or inspecting a military vehicle, likely a HMMWV (Humvee). One soldier in MultiCam/OCP pattern uniform is reaching up into the underside or interior of the vehicle while wearing tactical gloves. Two other soldiers in a different camouflage pattern (possibly Greek Army lizard pattern) observe nearby.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered outdoors in a field setting, appearing to conduct a training exercise or briefing. A central figure wearing a dark uniform and cap is gesturing with both hands, apparently instructing or demonstrating something to the surrounding soldiers. The scene takes place under clear blue skies with green fields visible in the background.
    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms and helmets are positioned on an elevated wooden platform observing a twin-rotor helicopter (consistent with a CH-47 Chinook) in flight over a green, open field. One soldier appears to be using a radio or signaling device, while another is holding a camera or optical instrument. The scene appears to depict a military training or coordination exercise involving air-ground operations.
    Three soldiers in camouflage uniforms are working together beneath a military helicopter, attaching or securing a sling load hook to the aircraft's cargo hook point. The image is taken from a low angle looking upward, showing the underside of what appears to be a large military helicopter with a yellow-framed cargo door visible. The soldiers are wearing full combat gear including helmets and eye protection.
    The image shows military personnel in camouflage uniforms and helmets working beneath the fuselage of a military aircraft, viewed from a low upward angle. They appear to be handling equipment, possibly a static line or cable, connected to the underside of the aircraft. A GoPro camera is mounted on one soldier's helmet, suggesting documentation of the activity.
    A military tandem-rotor helicopter, identifiable as a Boeing CH-47 Chinook, is hovering at low altitude over a green grassy field while carrying a slung load beneath its fuselage. The aircraft bears a roundel insignia visible on its side, suggesting it belongs to a national air force. The background shows low rolling hills and what appears to be a small settlement or airfield facility.
    The image is taken from the open rear cargo ramp of a military transport aircraft during an airborne operation. Multiple paratroopers with deployed olive-green parachutes are visible descending toward a coastal town and surrounding islands below. A second military transport aircraft is visible in the background, suggesting a coordinated multi-aircraft drop.
    A column of military paratroopers in full jump gear is boarding or preparing to board a USAF aircraft, visible by the 'USAF' marking on the tail. Personnel are equipped with green parachute packs secured with distinctive bright yellow/orange static lines. The formation includes soldiers in at least two different camouflage patterns, suggesting a multinational or joint military exercise.
    Four military personnel are seated inside what appears to be a military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 or similar cargo plane. They are equipped with helmets, parachute harnesses, and tactical gear, suggesting preparation for an airborne/parachute operation. At least two different national military forces appear to be represented, including a soldier with a Greek flag patch on the left.
    The image is taken from inside the cargo hold of a military transport aircraft, looking toward the open rear ramp. A cargo pallet or load is visible just outside the aircraft, apparently having been airdropped, with a parachute partially visible above it. The terrain below appears to be a coastal or mountainous region visible through the open ramp.
    The image shows the interior of a military cargo aircraft with its rear ramp open during an aerial delivery operation. A extraction/drogue parachute is visible outside the aircraft, deployed to pull cargo out of the hold. The cargo bay contains military equipment secured on wooden pallets with tie-down straps.
    Military personnel equipped with parachute gear are gathered inside the cargo bay of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 or C-17. One individual on the right appears to be a jumpmaster or crew member giving instructions or hand signals to the group. The soldiers are wearing mixed camouflage uniforms, helmets, and full parachute rigs, suggesting a pre-jump briefing or preparation sequence.
    The image shows the interior of a military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 or C-17, with personnel preparing for or actively conducting a parachute jump operation. Several soldiers in full combat/jump gear are positioned near the open rear ramp of the aircraft, with at least one individual appearing to exit or be pushed toward the opening. A loadmaster or jumpmaster in a flight helmet stands to the left monitoring the operation.
    The image shows military paratroopers standing at the open rear ramp of a military transport aircraft, preparing to jump. Two soldiers in camouflage uniforms with yellow static line parachute rigging are visible at the edge of the ramp, with a coastal landscape visible far below. The scene is captured from inside the aircraft looking outward, with silhouetted figures on either side of the frame.
    The image shows the interior of a military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, with its rear cargo ramp open during flight. A soldier wearing full combat gear and a parachute pack is standing at the edge of the open ramp, appearing to be moments away from a parachute jump. Below and in the background, a coastal landscape with hills, a bay, and what appears to be a small town or military installation is visible.
    The image shows the interior of a military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, with its rear cargo ramp open. A paratrooper is in the process of jumping out of the aircraft while other personnel, including what appears to be a photographer, observe from inside. Below, a coastal landscape with islands, blue water, and mountainous terrain is visible.
