    Three U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are setting up a landing zone or drop zone on a grass field near what appears to be an airstrip. The central soldier is holding an anemometer aloft to measure wind speed, while the other two soldiers are staking down large orange panel markers into the ground. The setting appears to be at dusk or dawn in a valley with mountains visible in the background.

    U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Carroll Strong, a paratrooper assigned to Brigade Support Battalion, 173rd Airborne Brigade, checks the wind speed before an airborne operation at Cerklje Drop Zone in Slovenia during the Exercise Mountain Shock Dec. 1, 2016. Exercise Mountain Shock is a bilateral training exercise with the Solvenian Armed Forces focused on the rapid deployment and assembly of forces and team cohesion with weapon systems tactics and procedures. Exercises such as this build a foundation of teamwork and readiness between allied NATO countries. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army Contingency Response Force in Europe, capable of projecting ready forces anywhere in the U.S. European, Africa or Central Commands' areas of responsibility within 18 hours.
