There is no other way to deliver a large amount of troops anywhere in the world within a very short timeframe. Take a look at the airlift out of Kabul not long ago, now imagine the planes don't have to land and they drop troops, supplies, vehicles, etc. out within a very short time frame. The US did a combat jump in the initial invasion of Iraq, they had numerous SF jumps throughout all of the GWOT, and Desert Storm, Panama, are all great examples of other times combat jumps were a great tool to have in the arsenal.

@@citizensoliderguy5238 All the way bro

Then how are all the personnel aboard that shot plane going to get to the ground?

Because it would be flying while supported by a military employing a number of ways to keep the air defenses confused, distracted, or destroyed. Nobody is planning to send a C-130 loaded with paratroops like this into a combat drop all by itself.

How? even SF guys have to do Airborne school

Bullshit

Liar. Keep LARP'in kid

@@kevinraposo348 ngl he sound like a cap👀

liar lmfao

Great question, this Soldier is very lucky it was a soft maintained DZ.

Facts!

Yes he was, but nothing serious. He is back to jumping

Near El Centro, California

= 0% Titanites

🤣🤣🤣🤣 pretty much

Same deal here in Australia. Different name though DVA, Department of Veterans Affairs.

Sad and true in a lot of cases, so make sure you high speed jumpers get all your injuries documented.

Me, just hearing the wind, why wasn’t the JM on the DZ calling off the jump, the exact way I landed in trees @ Sicily DZ Ft. Bragg f’ing up my neck x 4 titanium plates plus multiple other injuries to boot, also this jumper had the stiffest legs for his PLF, definitely a back injury candidate or neck or legs, etc., the JM should have called range control & cancelled.

No breaks! Just sore

@@citizensoliderguy5238: Excuse my ignorance, but is that a Cruciform style Parachute used by the Army Airborn today? I'm asking because I've never seen that particular main chute used before. I learned to jump with old WW2 Cheepo mushroom shaped main using a static line in 1975. Now at 70 years old, I'm still skydiving using my 5th Ram-Air main chute which not only has self inflatable parafoils that not only gives greater speed & direction control, but also spreads the stress of deployment (opening shock) for which these old bones are eternally grateful.

@@nerblebun We jump with the T-11 parachute. The T-11 is the main system we use now. We also use the MC-6 which is steerable, to an extent, but not like what you use to skydive with. I can also assure you that all of our jumps have lots of opening shock and ground shock just to make sure paratroopers aren't sleeping during an airborne operation.

Yep that is a big "NO GO" never ever reach for the ground with your feet, always keep those feet and knees together when getting ready to conduct that dynamite PLF...

Amen brother

Wasn't the softest. Hardened sand and pebbles

@@citizensoliderguy5238 how do I refrain from breaking anything ?

@@eyezonabankrolll2931 feet and knees together, don’t look down, and don’t panic. Hitting the ground should surprise you. If you’re looking down, like this paratrooper did, you’ll subconsciously spread your feet and break your legs. Luckily this guy didn’t

4th jump is at friar field at Benning, all obstacles including rocks should have been removed..

@@josephsokoloski7010 There's still s ditch that has a whole lining of fairly decent sized rocks. View from entrucking, It's to the right hand side

@@deklynbutler2267 I did Jump school in 1980 things may have changed, then it was HHT 1/17th Air Cav on smoke Bomb Hill 82nd Abn..
