Vincent Speranza, World War II Veteran and machine gunner from the 501st Infantry Regiment, tries out the Engagement Skills Trainer to fire at simulated targets alongside a paratrooper from Apache Company, 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, during a visit with the paratroopers of 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, July 13, 2021. Speranza traveled to JBER to meet and share stories about his World War II experiences with the paratroopers of the 1-501st PIR and Spartan Brigade. The Spartan Brigade is the only airborne infantry brigade combat team in the Arctic and Pacific theaters, providing the combatant commander with the unique capability to project an expeditionary force by air.
