    U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, conduct an airborne operation from U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules from the 86th Air Wing 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.
