An Esercito Italiano Alpini Paracadutisti Ranger presents certificates to Sky Soldiers earning them Italian Parachutist wings at Juliet Drop Zone in Maniago, Italy. This jump wing exchange fostered esprit de corps amongst both U.S. and Italian paratroopers giving them the opportunity to wear another military's award on their uniforms.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States Europe, Africa and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
