Held at Fort Bragg, Operation Toy Drop is the world’s largest combined airborne operation and collective training exercise. This year, jump masters from Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Colombia, Latvia and Indonesia commanded flights over Sicily Drop Zone. And because the American soldiers were under the command of foreign jump masters inside the aircraft, this entitled them to put on foreign jump wing pins.
