Allied paratroopers team up with Greek Special Operations Forces for exercise Swift Response 23
Look out below! Paratroopers from three NATO Allies jumped into Greece as part of exercise Swift Response 23.
Synopsis
NATO Allied paratroopers from the Netherlands and the United States jumped into Greece alongside Hellenic Army commandos during exercise Swift Response 23.
Soldiers from the US Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade jumped into a drop zone near Thessaloniki alongside counterparts from the Royal Netherlands Army’s 11 Air Assault Brigade and the Hellenic Army’s 1st Commando-Parachutist Brigade. After securing the drop zone, the soldiers mounted a simulated airfield seizure in Larissa, with help from Hellenic Air Force and CH-47 Chinook helicopters.
A detachment of US Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II jets supported the exercise, performing simulated strikes in support of the ground troops.
This annual US-led exercise focuses on further improving the ability of Allied airborne forces to conduct airborne operations into territory occupied by adversaries. This year’s iteration saw paratroopers land in Estonia, Greece and Spain. Swift Response 23 is part of Defender 23, a series of exercises focused on testing the United States’ ability to rapidly respond to crises across Europe.
Footage includes shots of Dutch, Greek and US paratroopers jumping into Greece and assaulting an airfield, and shots of A-10Cs taking off and landing, as well as interviews held with Hellenic Army and US Air Force officers.

“Swift Response is part of a big exercise, Defender Europe 23, and is a great opportunity for all countries as well as organisations to work with each other in order to ensure and increase interoperability and stability between them.
(05:01) SOUNDBITE (GREEK) Hellenic Army Lieutenant Colonel Panagiotis Tsoligkas, Special Warfare Command (In answer why is it important to exercise)
“To create a great force more effective so that we can deal with any security threat, which requires multinational cooperation to deal with it.”
(05:23) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Mike Hilkert, 303rd Fighter Squadron
“Working with the Hellenic Air Force for about a week now, flying missions out of Thessaloniki, Greece and supporting the Greek JTACs (Joint Terminal Attack Controllers), the Dutch JTACs, American JTACs. We're going to escort some cargo aircraft tonight that are dropping about 500 paratroopers out. And it's a unique opportunity for us to do split operations in Spain and Greece.
(05:49) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Mike Hilkert, 303rd Fighter Squadron
“We're a big part of NATO, so integrating with different countries has been about the way we've operated for the last 20 plus years. So I think it's important training for the United States forces to work with the Greeks and the Spanish and the Dutch. There's a little bit of a language barrier, but we're learning how to work through it, and we've been very successful in our operations to this point.”

Norwegian F-35s wrap up their NATO deployment to Iceland
Synopsis Norwegian Air Force F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft have just wrapped up a NATO deployment aimed at securing Iceland’s airspace. Four F-35s were on standby ready to be scrambled if an unidentified aircraft came close to Icelandic airspace. The Air Policing mission for Iceland is provided periodically by NATO member countries for three to four weeks at a time, as Iceland does not have armed forces of its own. NATO Air Policing, which takes place over the entire Alliance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is a peacetime mission that aims to preserve the security of Alliance airspace. The Norwegian deployment ran from 19 January until 9 February 2023. This is the second time Norway has sent fifth-generation fighter jets to cover Icelandic airspace. Footage includes shots of F-35 aircraft in a hangar, on the runway and taking off. It also includes soundbites with Lieutenant Colonel Trond Haugen, Squadron Commander, 332 Squadron of the Royal Norwegian Air Force, and Thórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörd Gylfadóttir, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iceland.

So, you know, keeping a watchful eye on the High North from Iceland is obviously an important part of maintaining situational awareness of what's going on up north in the NATO area of responsibility.” (06:35) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) LIEUTENANT COLONEL TROND HAUGEN, SQUADRON COMMANDER, 332 SQUADRON, ROYAL NORWEGIAN AIR FORCE “Iceland is an important player in this obviously As you know, they don't have their own armed forces, but they do support with their coast guard and their coast guard is running their air surveillance mission here in Iceland, which is in place with their radars and systems to be able to make and maintain a 24/7 surveillance of the airspace around Iceland. And then we integrated that part by being a first responder capability with their two F-35s that are on constant alert to be sent on their ways to intercept and identify any kind of threat to the airspace around us.” (07:13) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) LIEUTENANT COLONEL TROND HAUGEN, SQUADRON COMMANDER, 332 SQUADRON, ROYAL NORWEGIAN AIR FORCE “All the F-35 is what we call a fifth-gen aircraft and has multiple capabilities that are SA enhancing. So situational awareness enhancing for doing a mission like this. It's got awesome sensors that keep a good lookout on what's going on around us. So when we integrate that with the radar capability that is already existing in Iceland, it makes for a very good combination to keep a good understanding of what's going on.” (07:45) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) - THÓRDÍS KOLBRÚN REYKFJÖRD GYLFADÓTTIR, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, ICELAND “Of course it is a deterrence in itself that we have the air policing because it shows both the capabilities and the commitments of NATO. So if we didn't have that, we would be much more vulnerable here.” (08:01) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) - THÓRDÍS KOLBRÚN REYKFJÖRD GYLFADÓTTIR, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF ICELAND “We have never in history have had armed forces. And we are, even though the country is kind of big, the nation is now around 370,000. And, you know, not long ago it was even smaller. So it would always be small. We have had, you know, the bilateral defence agreement with the United States since 1951, and we are a founding member of NATO. So when you prioritise the project and look what makes sense, this is the outcome and I really don't think that's going to change, at least not in the near future.” (08:42) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) - THÓRDÍS KOLBRÚN REYKFJÖRD GYLFADÓTTIR, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF ICELAND “It was a very big thing when we decided to be a member of NATO, founding member at the time, and it was very controversial. Today we have, you know, more than 75 per cent support of Iceland being a member of NATO. And now it's written out as the cornerstone of our national security policy. And obviously, with the war going on now, I think almost everyone can see what it would mean if we weren't.” (09:11) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) - THÓRDÍS KOLBRÚN REYKFJÖRD GYLFADÓTTIR, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF ICELAND “With the fact that we have a war in Europe, that creates a new reality, a new norm that most of us were told and believed that wouldn't happen again. It brings, you know, the threat closer and you can feel how big of a threat it is for Ukraine's neighbours, which are our neighbours and which are part of NATO. And it also shows that the values that we cherish and that we built our society on is being attacked and is being tested. And if we can't be sure that those are the values that we are going to build our society on, you know, Iceland doesn't stand a chance in Putin's world, so then it’s very clear and that is why we stand very firmly with Ukraine and say out loud in every opportunity we get that Ukraine must win this war, that's the only way we can really have peace again in Europe.” ## END ##
