00:00.266 --> 00:03.160
(plane engine roars)

00:03.160 --> 00:04.810
- [Michael] Airborne
paratroopers were among

00:04.810 --> 00:06.610
the thousands of NATO, ally,

00:06.610 --> 00:09.270
and partner military forces participating

00:09.270 --> 00:12.911
during Saber Junction's
2019 training operations.

00:12.911 --> 00:16.300
The annual event allows
U.S., European allies,

00:16.300 --> 00:18.280
and partners to train cooperatively

00:18.280 --> 00:19.940
in a joint environment.

00:19.940 --> 00:22.070
Training exercises like this are designed

00:22.070 --> 00:24.420
to prepare ground forces to move quickly

00:24.420 --> 00:26.720
and forcibly in hostile environments

00:26.720 --> 00:28.490
from a high-speed aircraft.

00:28.490 --> 00:29.678
- How are you?

00:29.678 --> 00:30.660
Okay, good, good.

00:30.660 --> 00:32.000
Good jump?

00:32.000 --> 00:33.740
- [Michael] Turkey's
engagement during this year's

00:33.740 --> 00:36.920
training operation signifies
a stronger commitment

00:36.920 --> 00:40.600
towards bilateral relationships
between NATO forces.

00:40.600 --> 00:43.180
The relationship between
the U.S. and Turkey

00:43.180 --> 00:45.460
is strategically viable
because they make up

00:45.460 --> 00:48.200
the two largest land forces in NATO.

00:48.200 --> 00:50.640
U.S. Army Specialist Michael Bezares,
