Photo Of The Day – We are looking at Greek soldiers assigned to the 71st Air Mobile Brigade fast-rope towards a building alongside U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. This happened during the Exercise Iron Sword 19 in Kilkis, Greece, in November, 2019.

Exercise Iron Sword is a joint training exercise between elements from 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment; 3rd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment; and the 71st Air Mobile Brigade taking place at the Urban Warfare National Training Center.
