    173rd Airborne Brigade

    U.S. Army Paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade wait on top of their vehicle Humvee in order to connect it to a Chinook helicopter for an aerial heavy-lift as part of an airborne landing assault for exercise Swift Response 21 in Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria, May 15, 2021. The goal of this movement is to hold key terrain that is not secured, and to directly engage enemy forces behind enemy lines.

    Swift Response 21 will occur May 6-11, as the airborne operation portion of DEFENDER-Europe 21. It will validate U.S. European Command's ability to send high readiness forces into a designated area by conducting an airborne exercise consisting of strategic jumps as part of a Joint Forcible Entry (JFE) in three countries to seize key terrain.
