U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to Battle Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, conducted a platoon live-fire exercise at Poček Range in Slovenia on March 18.
U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Melania Arreaga visited the 173rd Airborne Brigade to observe the training. Arreaga, who has served as chargé d’affaires to Slovenia since July 2024, watched U.S. paratroopers and Slovenian troops operate side by side on the firing line as part of ongoing military cooperation.
During her visit, U.S. paratroopers demonstrated the use of heavy weapons and guided Arreaga through a hands-on shooting experience.
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.
