Hundreds of paratroopers are gathered at Aviano Airbase in Italy, and simultaneously in Latvia, bringing together several partner and allied nations for one of the largest combined airborne operations known as Peacemaster Unity, Oct. 17, 2016. Paratroopers from Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the United States, are taking part in Peacemaster Unity which is being held over the course of four days, Oct. 17-20, 2016, and will culminate with a wing exchange ceremony. The combined exercise demonstrates the multinational capacity building of the airborne community and the airborne allied nations collectively. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Opal Vaughn)
