A service member with U.S. Special Operations Command’s Para-Commandos jumps out of a C-130 aircraft during a legacy airborne jump over the site of the battle for La Fière in World War II near Sainte-Mère-Église, France, June 7, 2026. The jump connected today's leaders and service members with the historic airborne operations that helped change the course of World War II. From June 2-7, 2026, more than 600 U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Guardians and Airmen from roughly 17 units historically linked to D-Day made up Joint Task Force 82 and participated in over 90 commemorative events throughout the Normandy Region.
