The 173rd Airborne Brigade is capable of projecting ready forces anywhere in the U.S. European Command (EUCOM), U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) or U.S. Central Command areas of responsibility. Training to maintain that ready-force capability, the U.S. Army paratroopers conduct night airborne operations using United States Air Force aircraft from Ramstein Air Base, Germany at the Juliet Drop Zone in Italy. #KnowYourMil | U.S. Department of War
