usarmy paratroopers teamed up with afspecopscmd Airmen to demonstrate their capabilities in the uscentcom area of responsibility. The exercise provided an avenue for practicing tactics, techniques, and procedures in a joint environment while building partnerships between the U.S. and Qatari military. 

During the training, usairforce aircrew from the 102nd Rescue Squadron provided airlift for the operation, utilizing a C-130 aircraft to enable 19 paratroopers from the 165th Quartermaster Brigade Aerial Delivery Company-Airborne Det 1 to execute their mission. The operation fulfilled USCENTCOM commander’s strategic approach of enhancing people, partnerships, and innovation throughout the AOR.

Paralleled to the operation, twenty-five paratroopers from the QJSF were on-board a QEAF C-17 aircraft executing their own airborne operation awaiting their exit to meet their U.S. Army coalition partners on the drop zone.

“The operation showcased Qatar’s capabilities while strengthening our capabilities in the Middle East, and we were thrilled to see our Soldiers engage with the Qatari military to enhance their techniques as riggers and paratroopers,” said U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Dekota Luhrman, 165th Quartermaster BADC-A Det 1 operations noncommissioned officer and assistant jumpmaster.
