German army Capt. Andreas Trenzinger, pins a U.S. Army paratrooper with German airborne wings after successfully exiting a German Transall C-160 aircraft during a joint airborne operation called Federal Eagle, held April 16, 2013, at Fort Bragg, N.C. “Exchanging wings at the end of this training event is a visible sign of our friendship,” said Lt. Col. Andy Wiechert, German Liaison Officer, assigned to the XVIII Airborne Corps. “If we train together, and we fight together like in Afghanistan, then we can also jump together.” (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
