U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 435th Contingency Response Group float to the ground after jumping from a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook for the 435th Contingency Response Group's sling load during exercise Saber Strike 17 at Lielvarde Air Base, Latvia, June 10, 2017. The 435th CRG sends paratroopers to austere locations to determine if an area can be safely used as an airfield. Saber Strike 17 highlights the inherent flexibility of ground and air forces to rapidly respond to crises allowing for the right presence where it is needed, when it is needed.
