U.S. and Serbian Forces honor 81st Anniversary of Operation Halyard

Green Berets with U.S. Army 19th Special Forces Group and Serbian special operations forces conduct airborne jumps during a ceremony commemorating Operation Halyard at Galovica Field in Pranjani, Serbia, Sept. 19, 2025. The annual event commemorated the 81st anniversary of Operation Halyard, when a three-man team from the Office of Strategic Services coordinated with Serbian villagers to conduct the largest rescue of downed airmen in U.S. history, saving over 500 Allied aviators.
