    2/503rd Paratroopers train with Lavtian and Lithuanian forces during Zobens Exercise

    REZEKNE, Latvia – A Lithuanian Soldier scans his sector during a “fire fight” with opposing forces Sept. 24 during Exercise Zobens. The opposing force was played by Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne), 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat (Airborne). The Paratroopers arrived in Latvia two-weeks ago to embark on a six-month rotation to train with their Latvian partners as part of Atlantic Resolve, a U.S. led effort being conducted in Eastern Europe to demonstrate U.S. commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region. The 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Vicenza, Italy, is the Army Contingency Response Force in Europe, and is capable of projecting forces to conduct a full range of military operations across the United States European, Central and Africa Command areas of responsibility within 18 hours.
