Hohenfels, Germany (September 4, 2024) — The skies over Germany were filled with parachutes as more than 500 paratroopers jumped into Saber Junction 2024, a massive combat training exercise led by the U.S. and involving ten other NATO Allies.
The training was all about working together. NATO was able to come together as a united fighting force despite differences in language, equipment, and strategies. It’s no small task with 3,000 U.S. soldiers and 600 troops from other countries, all working in sync with Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade at the U.S. Army’s Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany. The exercise ran from August 25 to September 19, 2024.
