British airborne forces are training alongside NATO counterparts to develop their ability to work together to deliver a Swift Response to international crises.
16 Air Assault Brigade is on Exercise Swift Response, which brings together more than 5, 000 personnel from 10 nations and takes place in Poland and Germany between May 27-June 26, 2016.
Under the command of Headquarters 16 Air Assault Brigade some 2, 000 troops took part, the largest British contingent to deploy on a NATO exercise in 2016.
The joint force included 3 PARA Battlegroup, including engineer, artillery, logistics, signals, medical, provost and ISTAR support; Apache attack helicopters from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps; and RAF Chinook and Puma support helicopters and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
The training involved mass parachute jumps and air assault operations as part of a simulated mission to restore stability to a troubled region. It is key to developing interoperability with 82nd Airborne Division and 11e Brigade Parachutiste, the Brigades key partners in the US and French armies respectively, as well as wider allies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense preparation of the Tactical Supply Wing of the Royal Air Force as they position a fuel truck, eagerly awaiting incoming helicopters for refueling during Exercise Swift Response. This exercise serves as a platform for British airborne forces to train alongside their NATO counterparts, fostering collaboration and enhancing their ability to deliver swift responses to international crises. Taking place in Poland and Germany between May 27th and June 26th, 2016, Exercise Swift Response brought together over 5,000 personnel from 10 nations. Under the command of Headquarters 16 Air Assault Brigade, this exercise saw the largest deployment of British troops on a NATO exercise that year with around 2,000 participants. The joint force included various components such as engineer units, artillery teams, logistics support staff, signals operators, medical personnel, provosts (military police), and ISTAR (Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition Reconnaissance) specialists. Additionally present were Apache attack helicopters from the Army Air Corps'4 Regiment along with RAF Chinook and Puma support helicopters and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. Mass parachute jumps and air assault operations formed part of this simulated mission aimed at restoring stability in a troubled region. The training was crucial not only for developing interoperability within allied forces but also strengthening partnerships with key allies like the US's82nd Airborne Division and France's11e Brigade Parachutiste. This remarkable photograph by Cpl Rob Travis RAF showcases both the dedication of these servicemen and women as well as highlighting their commitment to maintaining peace through collaborative efforts.
