They flew from Ft Bragg and conducted a simulated combat drop onto Guam? Inflight rigging? Refueled in flight? VERY impressive.Seen early this morning: XVIII Airborne Corps Paratroopers conduct a Joint Forcible Entry into Guam from Fort Bragg at night after a 20-hour flight from Fort Bragg. In-flight rigging, aerial refueling, and on the Drop Zone in support of our partners in the Indo-Pacific region. pic.twitter.com/VBNrGk8yEk
