Paratroopers with 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, conducted an airborne operation May 11, 2021, onto Allen Army Airfield, Fort Greely, Alaska, as part of Northern Edge 2021.

Following the seizure of the airfield, an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) battery from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord arrived and conducted a live fire exercise at nearby Donnelly Training Area.

Approximately 300 paratroopers from the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, out of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, exited from U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules aircraft while A-10 Thunderbolt IIs orbited, providing close air support. Once on the ground, paratroopers moved to their assembly areas to consolidate and secure the airfield as additional C-130s and C-17s landed with more paratroopers, equipment and the HIMARS battery.

Awesome pics! One question did spring to mind:

I heard Garand thumb on his latest video that the M4 SOPMOD Block II is about to phased out... and Im like hang on, Im still seeing army and navy guys running around with the Block one, including Colt M4's with KAC rails, fixed front sight posts, standard stocks, ACOGs, M203's QD suppressors and standard bird cage flash hiders. Not just Marines but army too. Was he maybe referring to the SOCOM community?
