U.S. Soldiers from 173rd Cavalry Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron out of Fort Bragg, N.C., meet at a rally point after being air-dropped into the urban operations complex in the Nevada Test and Training Range in Nevada Nov. 18, 2009, by an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and a C-130 Hercules aircraft.
The soldiers are participating in the biannual Mobility Air Forces Exercise (MAFEX), which provides realistic training for combat air force, mobility air force and U.S. Army personnel. (DoD photo by Tech. Sgt. Michael R. Holzworth, U.S. Air Force/Released). Original public domain image from Flickr
