Soldiers from Britain’s Parachute Regiment have participated in a joint military exercise in Spain alongside their Spanish airborne counterparts.
The exercise, the first of its kind in Spain with the 1st Parachute Infantry Bandera ‘Roger de Flor’, is aimed at preparing the paratroopers to be deployed anywhere in the world as the first soldiers on the ground.
The Ministry of Defence said Exercise Iberian Eagle marked a significant transition for the soldiers of B Company, 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3 PARA), as they resumed their role as part of the Army’s high-readiness Airborne Task Force (ABTF), having served their last operational tour in Afghanistan.
