battlefield at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels,
Germany as part of Exercise Saber Junction 22 (SJ22).
SJ22 is a

U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade to execute unified land operations in a
joint, combined environment and to promote interoperability with more than
4,500 participants from the U.S. and Allied and partner nations at the U.S.
Army's Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels training areas from August 29 to September
20, 2022.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency
Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable
forces to the United States European, African, and Central
Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across
Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside
NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and
strengthen the alliance.
