Matthew McFarlane, with the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, meet to review sector defenses and boundaries to further strengthen relations between the two allies during Talisman Sabre 2013 at Shoalwater Bay Training Area in Queensland, Australia, July 23, 2013. Talisman Sabre is a combined biennial exercise between the U.S. and Australian militaries designed to enhance both nations’ ability to respond to regional contingencies. The 4-25 executed a forced entry airborne assault, seizing a lodgement with a force size of 400 paratroopers. The paratroopers embarked from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, and assaulted the training ground after a 15-hour flight aboard five U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircrafts.
