Bizerte, Tunisia – U.S. Marines and Tunisian troops conducted joint military free-fall operations on 23 September, strengthening airborne crisis-response capabilities and cooperation between the two forces.

Footage filmed by U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Noah Masog captures the jumps from a first-person perspective, following service members as they exit a Tunisian Air Force C-130, descend through freefall, deploy their parachutes and land in an arid drop zone.

The exercise involved Marines from Force Reconnaissance Company, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, working alongside Tunisian personnel. The training was designed to improve operational readiness and reinforce the security partnership between the two countries.

The jumps formed part of ongoing bilateral airborne training in September, supporting military cooperation and crisis-response capabilities across the African region.
