Saber Strike: Airfield Seizure into Kaunas, Lithuania
09 June: First Rock Paratroopers from Company A (Attack) have jumped into Kaunas Airfield, Lithuania. First Rock is participating in Exercise Saber Strike, located in the Baltic States, and Poland. Our Paratroopers have planned and coordinated with German Paratroopers to conduct a nighttime airfield seizure into Lithuania, in order to secure the airfield for follow on missions. To conclude the event, our Paratroopers presented our German allies with American jump wings! Saber Strike is a long-standing U.S Army Europe-led cooperative training exercise conducted annually since 2010. The aim of the exercise is to improve the cooperation and capabilities of the participating nations for future contingency operations.
