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 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 United States and Serbia.
