U.S. Soldiers assigned to units across Europe and Africa navigate an obstacle course during Air Assault School at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, Aug. 4, 2026. The 10‑day course trains soldiers in air assault operations, sling‑load procedures and rappelling. These skills ensure soldiers can maximize the use of helicopter assets in training and combat to support unit operations. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Collin Mackall)
