U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Klayton Curran, assigned to the 9th Special Operations Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico tunes into the communication lines before an airborne drop May 11, 2021 during Exercise Northern Edge 2021. More than 50 paratroopers on board jumped from the plane under deployed canopies with the help of their jumpmasters from the 4-25 and loadmasters from the U.S. Air Forces' 9th Special Operations Squadron. The JFEO exercise involved more than 400 U.S. Army paratroopers, and other military members from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, and more than a dozen aircraft assigned to squadrons throughout the United States including CH-47s, and U.S. Air Force HC-130 Hercules , MC-130J Commando IIs, and C-17 Globemaster IIIs. Realistic warfighting training, like JFEO, conducted during Northern Edge 2021, provided a venue for the joint force to develop and improve interoperability, and enhance combat readiness. Approximately 15,000 U.S. service members are participating in NE21 hosted by U.S. Pacific Air Forces May 3-14, 2021, on and above the JPARC, the Gulf of Alaska, and temporary maritime activities area.
