Aircrew assigned to the Hawaii Air National Guard’s 204th Airlift Squadron and Soldiers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 143rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, discuss airborne operations on a C-17 Globemaster III June 13, 2019, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. A formation of aircraft from Canada, Italy, Spain, NATO and the U.S. conducted a joint forcible entry operation for exercise Swift Response 19. Hundreds of paratroopers assigned to the 173rd AB and pallets of heavy artillery were airdropped into Boboc Drop Zone, Romania, after sunset. The international exercise is held to validate U.S. European Command’s ability to send high readiness forces into a designated area while advancing airborne interoperability among NATO allies.
