The ”Iron Sword” exercise is a joint training military exercise between elements from the 2nd Battalion, the 503rd Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Squadron, the 17th Cavalry Regiment, and the 71st Air Mobile Brigade.
The educational military training is taking place at the Urban Warfare National Training Centre in Kilkis from November 18 to November 26, 2019.
The exercise is designed to both strengthen interoperability between Greek and U.S. forces and to demonstrate the 173rd’s commitment to its NATO allies.
The Facebook page of the US Embassy in Athens on Thursday posted three photographs of the American and Greek soldiers and airmen who are taking part in the event.
