Caption: BOBOC AIR BASE, Romania—Paratroopers with the 82nd Airborne Division, Polish 6th Airborne Brigade, Dutch 11th Air Assault Brigade, and Romanian Troopers execute a jump during Swift Response 21 on May 10. The 82nd Airborne Division partnered with three of its NATO allies and partners to complete the last iteration of a near simultaneous joint force entry operation. The operation demonstrates NATO’s extensive military capabilities that serve to prevent conflict and preserve peace. DEFENDER-Europe 21 is a large-scale U.S. Army-led exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability between the U.S., NATO allies and partner militaries. This year, more than 28,000 multinational forces from 26 nations will conduct nearly simultaneous operations across more than 30 training areas in more than a dozen countries from the Baltics to the strategically important Balkans and Black Sea Region.
