Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division make their way to the terminal after deplaning a C-17 Globemaster aircraft at Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, Poland Feb. 6 in support of the European Deterrence Initiative. This movement was two days after the Pentagon announced the United States would send 1,700 extra troops to Poland and approximately 1,000 more to Romania in order to reinforce NATO's eastern flank amid the West's standoff with Russia over Ukraine.
