A Army paratrooper with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, descends to the ground after jumping out of an aircraft as part of Swift Response 18 at a training area near Rukla, Lithuania, June 9, 2018. Swift Response 18 is a multinational training exercise designed to maintain readiness and cohesiveness of participating units from several countries. Soldiers of the 3rd BCT started the training mission at their home station of Fort Bragg, and conducted a non-stop transcontinental flight that featured a mid-air refuel to conduct the jump into Lithuania.
