Exercise Swift Response 2019

Senior Master Sgt. Eric Gassiot, a loadmaster with the 815th Airlift Squadron, 403rd Wing, explains the procedures for vehicle operations to Corporal Jared Guden, 82nd Airborne, scout platoon team leader, after he drove a ground mobility vehicle onto a C-130J in preparation for exercise Swift Response 19, June 14, 2019. The exercise is one of the premier military crisis response training events featuring high readiness airborne forces from eight NATO nations. Activities include intermediate staging base operations, multiple airborne operations, and several air assault operations. The Swift Response exercises have had great success in creating a foundation for the strong relationships we share with several European allies and partners today.
