A Soldier from the British Army ensures the swift boarding of citizens onto a bus, bound for further transport to a plane at the conclusion of non-combatant evacuation operations from a fictional city during a scenario at Hohenfels Training Area, Joint Multinational Readiness Center, in southwestern Germany during Operation Swift Response, June 15, 2016. Exercise Swift Response is one of the premier military crisis response training events for multi-national airborne forces in the world. The exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of the combat core of the U.S. Global Response Force -- currently the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team -- to conduct rapid response, joint-forcible entry and follow-on operations, such as scenario training, alongside Allied high-readiness forces in Europe. Swift Response 16 includes more than 5,000 Soldiers and Airmen from Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United states and takes place in Poland and Germany, May 27-June 26, 2016.
