    173rd Airborne Brigade

    Sky Soldiers present the U.S. Army Parachutist Badge to Italian Alpini Paratroopers after conducting sustained airborne training with the Esercito Italiano Alpini Paracadutisti Rangers at Juliet Drop Zone in Maniago, Italy. Training like this allows both allies to gain confidence in each other's equipment and procedures, and helps build the bonds of interoperability between both Armies. Leaders from across the 173rd that also took part in the operation, pinned the badges on the paratroopers after the ceremony.

    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.
