U.S., French and Djiboutian airborne forces attend a church mass honoring St. Michel’s day, the patron saint of paratroopers at the French air base in Djibouti City, Djibouti in support of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, Sept. 29, 2016. The airborne forces began the celebrations with a static line and high altitude low opening jump toward a designated drop zone, followed by a church mass and a ceremony where several U.S. airborne forces were awarded French jump wings. Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa is a multinational effort to conduct theater security cooperation, combat violent extremism and enable freedom of movement within East Africa in order to defend U.S. interests and support aligned regional efforts.
