    Talisman Sabre 21: 114 US paratroopers awarded Australian parachute wings

    Australian Army parachute wings are awarded to 114 U.S. Army paratroopers with 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, during an award ceremony as a part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 21 at Lavarack Barracks in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, Aug. 1, 2021. The U.S. Army paratroopers completed the requirements necessary to wear the honorary Australian parachute wings. Some of the requirements include supervised ground training by an Australian parachute jump master and completing a static line parachute jump from an Australian aircraft in Australia. TS21 is a large-scale, bilateral military exercise conducted biennially across Northern Australia designed to enhance the U.S.-Australia alliance which is an anchor of peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. Exercises like this provide effective and intense training to ensure the forces are capable, interoperable, responsive and combat-ready. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Matthew Mackintosh)
