Green Berets with U.S. Army 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne) prepare to conduct an airborne jump over Galovica Field in Pranjani, Serbia, Sept. 17, 2025. The annual event commemorated the 81st anniversary of Operation Halyard, when a three-man Office of Strategic Services team coordinated with Serbian villagers to conduct the largest rescue of downed airmen in U.S. history, saving over 500 Allied aviators. Serbians risked their lives to hide U.S. personnel from German forces and helped return them to Allied control, highlighting the enduring partnership between the U.S. and Serbia.
