A U.S. Army Airborne paratrooper assigned to the 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team awaits the “go-ahead” message from the jumpmasters to rig up his parachute and gear during Exercise African Lion 21 at Morón Air Base, Spain, June 9, 2021. Airborne insertions allow aircrew to sharpen vital airdrop skills as they rapidly and safely drop the maximum number of personnel at a specific location.
African Lion is U.S. Africa Command’s largest, premier, joint, annual exercise hosted by Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal, 7-18 June. More than 7,000 participants from nine nations and NATO train together with a focus on enhancing readiness for U.S. and partner nation forces. AL21 is a multi-domain, multi-component, and multi-national exercise, which employs a full array of mission capabilities with the goal to strengthen interoperability among participants.
