HOHENFELS, Germany \u2013 Over 500 U.S. Army paratroopers jumped from multiple aircrafts as part of a training exercise involving airborne operations in Eglsee, Germany on Sept. 4, 2024, kicking off Saber Junction.<\/p>\n

More than 4,500 military personnel from 11 countries are participating in Saber Junction, an annual training exercise at the U.S. Army\u2019s Joint Multinational Readiness Center, Hohenfels, Germany from Aug. 25 to Sept. 19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s awaiting them is probably the hardest fight they\u2019ve ever been in,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Steve Carpenter, commanding general of 7th Army Training Command, US Army, Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want it to be the hardest here so when they get into combat, it seems just a little bit easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

The purpose of this exercise is to strengthen interoperability and readiness between participating NATO Allies and partner nations, enabling them to respond rapidly to any threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way by which warfare is taking place right now and we\u2019re seeing it in Ukraine, we\u2019re seeing it in other places around the world like the Middle East. Large scale combat operations is something we always have to practice, we have to stay on top of all the changes taking place\u201d, says Carpenter.<\/p>\n

U.S. Army\u2019s 173rd Airborne Brigade paratroopers kicked off the event by jumping from U.S. Air Force C-130 and C-17 aircrafts to demonstrate their ability to deploy and integrate with NATO allies and partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to adapt to what\u2019s going on in the Ukraine and we need to train that [to adapt] at combat training centers like this\u201d, says Carpenter, \u201cSo that any adversary of the NATO alliance or any alliance the United States has, they would think it\u2019s absolutely unthinkable to start a war with the United States or its allies and partners\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
