U.S. Special Operations Command Europe

From the aircraft to the drop zone, every airborne jump is a testament to trust, teamwork, and commitment. ✈️🪂

The jump was in honor of the brave service members, nicknamed “Iron Mikes,” who fought in World War II during Operation Overlord.

As we honor those who came before us, we continue investing in our people and strengthening the partnerships that keep us ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s missions.

Older than the nations it defends, the U.S. Army has made a difference in the history and founding of America.

Since 1775, America's Army has stood ready to protect the nation and its people and will fight to defend its values.

SOCEUR wishes all of our U.S. Army Soldiers and veterans a Happy 251st Birthday!
