    Cavalry Scout soldiers from North Macedonia react to enemy contact alongside their U.S. counterparts, paratroopers assigned to 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, in Hohenfels Training Area, Germany, during Saber Junction 19 (SJ19), Sept. 22, 2019.

    1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment is the 173rd’s only cavalry battalion, responsible for setting screens and mounting reconnaissance operations. Working alongside their multinational allies not only increases the scope of operations, but exposes both units to new methodologies and technologies within the discipline of reconnaissance.

    SJ19 is an exercise involving nearly 5,400 participants from 16 ally and partner nations at the U.S. Army’s Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels Training Areas, Sept. 3 to Sept. 30, 2019. SJ19 is designed to assess the readiness of the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade to execute land operations in a joint, combined environment and to promote interoperability with participating allies and partner nations.
