From the skies to the shores, U.S. paratroopers assigned to 173rd Airborne Brigade took the plunge into Italy’s Lake Garda April 10, 2025, during a rare airborne water operation — and their families were right there to cheer them on.
1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment commander Lt. Col. Joe Branch presented certificates of appreciation to the Italian Town of Lazise, Mayor Domino Bergamini, and Police Chief Ferdinando Pezzo for helping with the event.
