The @11thAirborneDiv are in India with @Puspen_TNI for Yudh Abhyas '24, enhancing warfighting skills through air assaults, precision mortar fire, and live fire exercises, strengthening our partnership. #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific
The #ArcticAngels are in India and have been pushing their limits alongside the @adgpi during Yudh Abhyas '24.
With air assault operations, precision mortar fire and live fire exercises, every soldier there is developing their warfighting skills.
Success in the Indo-Pacific requires deploying ready, lethal forces who can survive, fight and win anywhere.
The soldiers of TF Geronimo landed on remote Shemya Island last week with long range fires and radar capabilities.
Ready to fight and win. Anywhere.

"The Army looks at us to be Arctic experts," Hilbert said, and as a part of @USARPAC we've got to be ready to operate in the region as a part of the land power there."
"Bringing these forces together demonstrates to any adversary that we can deploy anywhere with little notice.”
As the only airborne force in @USARPAC our #ArcticAngels are prepared to quickly jump and fight alongside our allies anywhere.
Whether it’s the Arctic, the Indo-Pacific, or anywhere across the globe, we’re ready.
After two weeks of intense training, a week of rigorous testing, and a final 12-mile ruck march, 357 #ArcticAngels have earned the right to be called expert.
Repetition breeds perfection! Honing skills through rigorous training, @11thAirborneDiv warriors strive for the ultimate mark of excellence: the Expert Infantryman, Expert Soldier or Expert Field Medical Badge - the pinnacle of warfighting expertise.
Every paratrooper needs two things to do the job.
The will to fight the body’s instinct to survive, and an aircraft to jump from.
Both are on display at this year’s Arctic Thunder Open House at JBER.
Leading the way during the chaos of conflict with unwavering resolve, the Infantry stands as the decisive factor on the field of battle.
You can always find them at the front.

Red Flag is an annual joint exercise with our Air Force partners and a demonstration of what we do best.
Power projection and unrivaled excellence.
#ArcticAngels
Standing on the shoulders of those that have gone before them, the #ArcticAngels are forging ahead in building their legacy as the @USArmy's tip of the spear in the most consequential region, in the most dangerous environment, at this crucial time in world history.

@USARPAC | @INDOPACOM
The 11th Airborne Division stands alone in history.
Today’s Arctic Angels are without equal. Unrelenting as we build our own legacy in the most dangerous environment on Earth.
Undefeated in the face of the impossible.
#ArcticAngels
Our division’s legacy is built on experimentation and innovation in the face of the impossible.
In 1963, known as the 11th Air Assault Division (Test), we developed modern day air assault.
Now, we use it to take our #ArcticAngels further, faster…
Legacy is built on the foundation of our predecessors. From World War II, to Vietnam, and now conquering the Arctic, the 11th Airborne Division has always stood as an example of innovation, and success in the face of the impossible.
This year’s Arctic Angel Rendezvous Week at JBER and Fort Wainwright honors the legacy of our division, and celebrates our #ArcticAngels, and the families and communities that support us.
