Paratroopers from 173rd Airborne Brigade and Tunisia Armed Forces show parachutist badges after an airborne wing exchange ceremony March 4, 2022 near Bizerte, Tunisia. Approximately 50 Soldiers from 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, parachuted alongside 50Tunisian military counterparts onto the Al Amila drop zone on Sidi Ahmed Air Base near Bizerte, Tunisia. The paratroopers jumped from U.S. and Tunisian military aircraft, qualifying them for an exchange of foreign jump wings. “Wing exchanges are always fun and foreign jump wings are highly coveted in the airborne community,” said Lt. Col. Clay Livingston, the U.S. Army’s lead planner for the exercise. “These paratroopers will always have something they can show proudly and tell others that they jumped alongside the Tunisians.” (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
