    U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade negotiate an obstacle while competing in the Ross Cup on Caserma Del Din, Italy, June 16, 2020.

    The Ross Cup consists of a series of physically and mentally demanding tasks, intended to honor the memory of fallen mortarman Pfc. Adam C. Ross as well as identify the best mortar squad in the battalion. Pfc. Ross was killed in action on July 24, 2012, in Wardak Province, Afghanistan. He was an ammunition bearer in Chosen Company.

    The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States Europe, Africa and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
