U.S. Paratroopers assigned the 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division conduct close-quarter battle drills instructed by Green Berets assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) during a joint Foreign Internal Defense Exercise (FIDEX) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Aug. 13, 2026. The execution of a FIDEX enables special operations forces to strengthen their ability to rapidly integrate, synchronize capabilities, and respond to emerging operational requirements with conventional forces while validating SOF core capabilities and building collective readiness. FID is a doctrinal mission of the special operations forces and involves training, advising, and assisting host-nation military forces to protect their country against subversion, lawlessness, or insurgency.
