Sky Soldiers with the 173rd Brigade Support Battalion (Airborne) constructed a Brigade Support Area (BSA) in the Grafenwoehr Training Area, August 03, 2020.

The BSA requires space and time to form up, and our #Paratroopers do it in a flash. The BSA supports the 173rd Airborne Brigade with maintenance, medical and other support functions.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States Europe, Africa and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
