9. jūnijā Ādažos norisinājās starptautiskās militārās mācības “Swift Response 2018”, kuru laikā ar desmit lidmašīnām “C-17 Globemaster” no Fort Bragas, Ziemeļkarolīnā, ASV, ieradās vairāk nekā 600 karavīru no ASV 82. gaisa desanta divīzijas un Lielbritānijas bruņotajiem spēkiem, vedot līdzi arī ekipējumu un tehniku.
Lidmašīnas izlidoja no ASV, Fort Bragas 8.jūnija rītā un bez apstāšanās desmit stundu ilgā lidojumā atlidoja uz Latviju, veicot degvielas uzpildi gaisā virs Atlantijas okeāna.

Airborne forces show Swift Response
British airborne forces are training alongside NATO counterparts to develop their ability to work together to deliver a Swift Response to international crises.
16 Air Assault Brigade is on Exercise Swift Response, which brings together more than 5,000 personnel from 10 nations and takes place in Poland and Germany between May 27-June 26, 2016.
Under the command of Headquarters 16 Air Assault Brigade some 2,000 troops are taking part, the largest British contingent to deploy on a NATO exercise in 2016. The joint force includes 3 PARA Battlegroup, including engineer, artillery, logistics, signals, medical, provost and ISTAR support; Apache attack helicopters from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps; and RAF Chinook and Puma support helicopters and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
The training involves mass parachute jumps and air assault operations as part of a simulated mission to restore stability to a troubled region. It is key to developing interoperability with 82nd Airborne Division and 11e Brigade Parachutiste, the Brigade’s key partners in the US and French armies respectively, as well as wider allies.
