July 28, 2021 - U.S. Army paratroopers with 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (4IBCT Airborne), jump out of a Royal Australian Air Force C-17A Globemaster III onto the Kangaroo Drop Zone with 4IBCT infantrymen providing perimeter security on the ground during a simulated Joint Forcible Entry Operation (JFEO) associated with Exercise Talisman Sabre 21 (TS21) in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia.

A JFEO is a complex military operation that synchronizes multi-domain capabilities such as air, land, sea, information, space, cyberspace and other domains to take possession of a key location in enemy territory and use it to introduce forces and capability to obtain military advantage enabling future operations.

TS21 supports the U.S. National Defense Strategy by enhancing the ability to protect the homeland and provide combat-credible forces to address the full range of potential security concerns in the Indo-Pacific.
