We're excited to welcome our good friends and Paratroopers with the Royal Thai Army. This week, we completed an Army Combat Fitness Test familiarization with them. Next week, we'll train together culminating in an airborne operation on Sicily Drop Zone.
Paratroopers from 2nd Brigade had the honor of jumping into the Netherlands for the 77th anniversary of Operation Market Garden.
It is a great opportunity for our paratroopers to remember the ones that came before us.
