A paratrooper lands safely among the heather at the Houtdorperveld Drop Zone Sept. 18 as part of a combined airborne operation for the 71st anniversary of Operation Market Garden. Paratroopers from seven nations demonstrated interoperability through airborne operations using other nations’ equipment. The jump was part of a series of combined airborne operations and ceremonies to commemorate Market Garden, the largest airborne operation in history, taking place over Sept. 17-20, 1944. Approximately 1,000 paratroopers from the Netherlands, U.S., Germany, Italy, Belgium, Poland, and the U.K. participated in the anniversary. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Lt.
