British Airborne paratroopers assigned to the 16th Air Assault Brigade, Colchester, United Kingdom, load their parachutes onto a U.S. C-130J Super Hercules aircraft during Exercise African Lion 21 at Aviano Air Base, Italy, June 9, 2021. Each parachute is carefully rigged then stored and transported in bags to ensure the integrity of the parachute until they are needed to be used.
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.
