A U.S. Army jumpmaster assigned to the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command inspects a French paratrooper’s static line during an airborne operation between U.S. and allied paratroopers at the Cherbourg-Manche Airport, France, on June 5, 2022, as part of the 78th D-Day Anniversary. On June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 troops of the Allied Forces invaded Normandy, France, by sea and air. More than 23,000 paratroopers participated in the invasion. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
