U.S. Army Paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade install straps onto a Humvee before an aerial heavy-lift during the brigade air assault by Chinook helicopters with 12th Combat Aviation Brigade during exercise Swift Response 21 in Cheshnigirovo Air Base, Bulgaria, May 15, 2021. The helicopters are designed to lift air assault forces that are usually light infantry and some armored fighting vehicles and light guns.
Swift Response 21 will occur May 6-11, as the airborne operation portion of DEFENDER-Europe 21. It will validate U.S. European Command's ability to send high readiness forces into a designated area by conducting an airborne exercise consisting of strategic jumps as part of a Joint Forcible Entry (JFE) in three countries to seize key terrain.
