Looking forward to it! Great to see more international teams have signed up.
I was wondering if we were going to see some Israeli units on the list since they have participated in more international training/competition events recently.
You’ll never know the Israelis are there…at least not until we review the security camera footage at the hotel.
Meh, they announced when they were participating in the other two exercises recently. What was it, one in Germany where they practiced taking an airfield as a platoon sized element and another in the Pacific?
IDF participated with the 143rd as the first joint forcible entry between US and Israeli paratroopers into Poland this summer.
173rd isn’t participating?
I’m sure operational commitments outweigh a CONUS jump competition.
1st BN 143rd IN is the 3rd maneuver BN for the 173rd. They are a guard unit but are part of the AUP for the US Army.
Can’t wait…we live right between the pick up and drop zones and like to get over to the landing area. The air traffic starting a day or two before and then during the competition is a sight to behold, for sure!
