By Sgt. Michael Crawford

Paratroopers with 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, based in Grafenwoehr, Germany, are in Latvia for Operation Atlantic Resolve, dedicated to demonstrating commitment to NATO obligations and increasing interoperability with allied forces. With many Latvian Soldiers on summer leave, paratroopers used the brief lull in combined-training exercises to refine their airborne skills.

Approximately 600 paratroopers from the brigade have been deployed to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland since April for Operation Atlantic Resolve.
