NATO Allied paratroopers from the Netherlands and the United States jumped into Greece alongside Hellenic Army commandos during Swift Response 23.
Soldiers from the US Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade jumped into a drop zone near Thessaloniki alongside counterparts from the Royal Netherlands Army’s 11 Air Assault Brigade and the Hellenic Army’s 1st Commando-Parachutist Brigade. After securing the drop zone, the soldiers mounted a simulated airfield seizure in Larissa, with help from Hellenic Air Force and CH-47 Chinook helicopters. A detachment of US Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II jets supported the exercise, performing simulated strikes in support of the ground troops.
