    82nd Airborne Division Paratroopers Jump Into Latvia

    Vehicles and equipment assigned to 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, NC, drop from C-17 Globemasters and parachute into Adazi Base, Latvia during exercise Swift Response 18, June 9, 2018. Hundreds of paratroopers departed Fort Bragg, N.C., June 8 on eight C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft and flew non-stop to the Baltics, with an in-flight refuel over the Atlantic Ocean. The soldiers donned parachutes and prepared equipment inside the aircraft to simulate a no-notice transatlantic Global Response Force (GRF) mission. The 82nd, as the nucleus of the United States Army's GRF, maintains an ability to deploy thousands of paratroopers anywhere in the world within 18 hours. Once on the ground, the paratroopers conducted combat exercises across multiple follow-on objectives. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Dustin D. Biven / 22nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment)
