A C-17 Globemaster III taxis on the flightline at Spangdahlem Air Base while another C-17 Globemaster III prepares to land during Swift Response 25, May 15, 2025. The 726th Air Mobility Squadron partnered with the 173rd Airborne Brigade during the exercise designed to demonstrate the U.S. Army’s ability to rapidly deploy forces in Europe.
The airborne operation integrated 1,650 paratroopers from five NATO nations, including Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands, who loaded up at Spangdahlem AB, and landed at Memel Drop Zone at Gaiziunai Training Area, Lithuania. Swift Response 25 involves five near-simultaneous airborne insertions, High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems Rapid Infiltration training, a field hospital exercise, and live-fire exercises conducted with NATO networks in Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, and Finland from May 11-30, 2025.
