Soldiers from Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), 71st Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade, 36th Infantry Division, conducted both high altitude low opening and high altitude high opening day and night parachute jumps during military free fall sustainment training in Arizona for two weeks in late February. Exit altitudes ranged from 8,000 to 12,500 feet above ground level. Soldiers’ jump uniform profiles varied from just body armor and a parachute to what is called a “full wall locker,” which includes weapon, oxygen system and rucksack. These training exercises are critical because they allow Soldiers to work on team standard operating procedures, aircraft exits, and body flight mechanics in the vertical wind tunnel while utilizing a variety of aircraft and receiving first-rate instruction from qualified professionals and military instructors.
