The Airborne Ops/Lift/Jump were held here on the newly built Fort Dix Ramp which was just Dedicated on 19 August and was the first mission to be held at this location on Fort Dix. The 404th CA Advon arrived at TAC-1A for rehearsals prior to the actual loading and jump. After rehearsals the units were transferred to the Fort Dix Army Ramp where parachutes were distributed on the parking area inside of the fence of the Army Ramp. The troops arrived on or about 1230L and were ushered over to the staging area falling-in on their assigned chalks. Two CU-47's (5/519 Regt, Fort Eustis VA) had arrived at 1300L. While the CU-47’s were refueling, the Jump Master and unit leaders conducted a mission brief in Bldg 4421. At the conclusion of the brief a mission walk through took place. A Final inspection of the troops was conducted at the aircraft. These Airborne Ops soldiers were lifted to the jump area located at Coyle Field, NJ.
