In a display of diplomatic collaboration, U.S. Ambassador to Croatia Nathalie Rayes visited the 173rd Airborne Brigade at a Croatian base in Slunj on March 6, 2024, to engage with troops, shoot a .50-caliber machine gun, sample a Meal Ready-to-Eat (MRE), and discuss strategic initiatives, including Croatian range expansion. Ambassador Nathalie Rayes' visit to the 173rd Airborne Brigade highlighted her commitment to diplomatic relations and demonstrated a genuine interest in the daily lives of paratroopers.
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.
