Paratroopers with 1st Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division (Advise and Assist Brigade), descend to a drop zone near Al Asad Airbase, Iraq, Feb. 12, as part of the largest airborne training exercise conducted by U.S. forces in Iraq since the beginning of the war. To untwist a canopy's suspension lines, a Paratrooper is trained to grab his 'risers' above the head and pull them apart while kicking the legs as if on a bicycle.
