Paratroopers assigned to 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division participate in the commemorative “Waal River Crossing” on September 20, 2023, at Fort Liberty, N.C. Crossing the Waal River on September 20, 1944, led to Allied units successfully liberating the city of Nijmegen, Netherlands, as part of Operation Market Garden during World War II. Paratroopers began with a race to McKellar's Lake where they were able to watch reenactors from the All American Airborne Legion demonstrate the crossing of the Waal River before beginning their own five-lap race.
