PART ONE
Basic Techniques
This part provides all the information the instructor needs to prepare students to
participate safely in static line Airborne operations.
Chapter 1
Overview
The purpose of Airborne training is to qualify personnel in the use of the parachute as
a means of combat deployment. This training also develops leadership, self-
confidence, and an aggressive spirit through tough mental and physical conditioning.
This chapter discusses the purpose, standards, and phases of static line parachute
training. It also provides the instructor with a list of prejump orientation topics.
STANDARDS AND PHASES

1-1. Airborne training initiates and sustains a high standard of proficiency through repetition and time-
proven techniques. Valid results are obtained when the following training standards are employed:
z Strict discipline.
z High standards of proficiency on each training apparatus and during each phase of training.
z Vigorous physical conditioning programs to ensure paratroopers are capable of jumping with a
minimum risk of injury.
z A strong sense of esprit de corps and camaraderie among paratroopers.
z Emphasis on developing mental alertness, instantaneous execution of commands, self-confidence,
and confidence in the equipment.
1-2. The three-week Airborne course is divided into two training phases. Weeks one and two form the
ground and tower training phase. Week three is the jump training phase.
PHYSICAL READINESS TRAINING

1-3. Volunteers must achieve Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) standards for the 17- to 21-year-old level
prior to reporting for Airborne training and must weigh 110 pounds in duty uniform. Volunteers must have
the ability to reach (vertically) 80 inches with combat equipment rigged and both feet remaining in contact
with aircraft deck. (See table 1-1 on page 1-2.) Students who cannot progress in daily physical readiness
training are referred to a board that decides to recycle them or return them to their unit.
1-4. Daily exercises condition the muscle groups that play a significant part in jumping. Volunteers must
execute a flexed arm hang for twenty seconds. The APFT and flexed arm hang are two separate events
executed consecutively, with the APFT being administered first and then the flexed arm hang on day one of
Airborne School.
0DUFK TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-15.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010, C1 1-1

Chapter 1
1-5. Students who pass the APFT and fail the flexed arm hang are evaluated using the Slip Pull Simulator.
Failure to successfully meet the standard of the APFT and or the flexed arm hang will result in the student
being dropped from the Basic Airborne Course.
1-6. The Slip Pull Simulator is a mechanical device used to determine if an incoming Airborne School
student has sufficient upper body strength to pull a riser slip on a simulated T-11 parachute system. The
apparatus matches the actual effort (within a very close tolerance) required of a paratrooper pulling a slip
while under a T-11 canopy with combat equipment, during the last 200 feet above ground level (AGL).

JUMP PHASE
1-7. Students who meet training proficiency in the basic jump techniques and the physical fitness
requirements during ground and tower week training, advance to the jump training phase. During jump
training phase, the student makes five qualifying jumps from aircraft at an altitude of 1250 feet AGL.
(See table 1-2.)
1-8. Students are thoroughly briefed before performing their qualification jumps. The topics include—
z A review of the five points of performance, collisions and entanglements, center panel strike
emergency procedures, towed jumper procedures, malfunctions, activation of the reserve, and
emergency landings.
z A summary on the maintenance of the T-11 Advanced Tactical Parachute System (ATPS) or the
MC-6 series Personnel Parachute System, including shakeout and storage after landing. (Refer to
TM 10-1670-327-23&P for more information.)
z How to don the parachute “by the numbers” on the first jump. Additional instructors are available
for close supervision and jumpmaster personnel inspection (JMPI).
z Aircraft orientation, including enplaning and jump procedures.
z Drop zone and approximate point of impact (PI) information.
z The rigging, donning, and proper lowering procedures of individual combat equipment.

z Step 2. The No. 1 jumper grasps two adjacent suspension lines at the lower lateral band, one in
each hand, and vigorously shakes the gore, making certain no grass, twigs, insects, or other foreign
matter are left on the fabric.
z Step 3. The No. 1 jumper then transfers both suspension lines to their left hand, grasps the
suspension lines of the next gore with the right hand, and continues as in step 2, working
counterclockwise until each gore has been shaken and all suspension lines are in the left hand. Pay
close attention to ensure no foreign material remains in the canopy.
z Step 4. The No. 2 jumper begins to slowly pull the canopy up, elongating the suspension lines
(group separation must be accomplished). The No. 1 jumper shakes the suspension lines and dusts
them by hand. The No. 1 jumper then turns the kit bag (recovery bag) inside out and cleans it
thoroughly to ensure no debris is in the kit bag.
z Step 5. The No. 1 jumper puts the harness in the kit bag (recovery bag).
z Step 6. The No. 2 jumper then slowly lowers the parachute while the No. 1 jumper folds the
suspension lines on top of the harness and places the canopy inside the kit bag (recovery bag).
Reserve Parachute and Wet Parachute Procedures

2-46. The shakeout procedure for the reserve parachute (if used) is the same as that for the main canopy. Do
the shakeout as soon after jumping as practicable.
2-47. Parachutes used in wet weather or exposed to moisture will be hung to dry within 24 hours of the jump.
Once dry, shakeout procedures will then occur.
DONNING PARACHUTES
2-48. Two personnel are required when donning parachutes. Using the buddy system to properly don and
adjust the troop parachute harness provides an additional safety check, prevents delays during JM personnel
inspection, and provides minimum discomfort to the jumper while aboard the aircraft and when receiving the
opening shock of the parachute.
2-49. The buddy-system method provides the best combination of speed and accuracy for jumpers to adjust
and check each other’s parachutes. One jumper assumes the role as No. 1 jumper and the other jumper
assumes the role as No. 2 jumper.
Note. During the initial periods of Airborne training, students will receive thorough training in the
nomenclature, fitting, and wearing of the parachute assemblies. Demonstration, followed by
student participation, is the key to the success of this instruction. Instructors constantly check to
ensure students know the proper nomenclature as well as the proper methods of wearing and fitting
the parachutes.
T-11 AND MC-6 HARNESS

2-50. When donning the T-11 or MC-6 parachutes, jumpers must complete the following steps:
z Step 1. Inspect the parachute assembly for visible defects. The main parachute harness requires
pre-adjustment prior to fitting.
z Step 2. Place the parachute on the ground. Ensure the harness assembly is up and the risers are
facing away. This includes—
Activating the quick release in the waistband and pulling up each of the activating levers on
the leg strap ejector snaps, which releases the leg straps. The jumper then activates the quick
release in the chest strap.

Sizing the parachute harness must be done prior to donning to ensure proper fit. There are two
sizing locations: the diagonal back straps, and the left and right main lift webs.
Adjusting the harness. The diagonal back straps provide two of the nine points of adjustment
on the parachute harness. There are five sizing channels numbered 1 through 5 to adjust for
the placement of the canopy release assemblies and position of the pack tray.
Unsnapping the directional snap fastener on the diagonal back strap retainer and pulling it
free from the sizing channel.
Selecting the appropriate size and routing the diagonal back strap retainer through the
appropriate sizing channel, then through the appropriate diagonal back strap keep. The jumper
secures the directional snap fasteners.
Notes. The helmet must be inspected prior to Airborne operations to ensure that all seven
suspension pads are present, that the crown pad has not been replaced by two oval pads, that the
front trapezoidal pad is even with the rim of the helmet, and that the rear trapezoidal pad is flush
with the outer rim or protruding slightly beyond the rim of the helmet.
The optimum position for the harness is with the canopy release assembles resting at
approximately name tape level, with the top edge of the pack tray in alignment with the jumper’s
shoulder’s (not below) and the saddle routed around the meaty portion of the jumper’s thighs (not
the buttocks).
Proper sizing of the T-11 ATPS to the individual jumper is key to reducing injury during
an Airborne operation.
Jumpers who are within the lower percentile may require an unorthodox adjustment. For
example, a 4-foot, 10-inch jumper’s diagonal back strap may require a larger sizing channel
adjustment of three (3) to achieve the proper placement of the canopy release assemblies. Ensure
that the waistband is snug and is secured.
z Step 3. Complete donning preparation. To do this, jumpers arrange the T-11 main, T-11 reserve,
and aviator’s kit bag (universal parachutist recovery bag) by—
Letting out the excess webbing from all points of adjustment (leg straps, horizontal back
straps, and chest strap).
Positioning the aviator’s kit bag (recovery bag) and reserve parachute where it is easily
accessible to the jumper while donning the parachute harness.
Notes. Two personnel are required when donning the parachute. One assumes the role as the
jumper, the other as the buddy to assist in rigging. This also reduces the possibility of rigging
deficiencies and ensures proper fit of the parachute.
Properly sizing the T-11 ATPS to the individual jumper is key to reducing injury during
an Airborne operation.
WARNING
When the T-11 harness is donned improperly, the results can
contribute to static line injuries, weak exits, towed jumpers, riser
burns, poorly executed slips, and difficulty or an inability to
recover from a drag during wind gusts after landing.

Chapter 2
Notes. The main lift webs provide two of the nine points of adjustment. There are three size
settings: small, medium, and large.
To make main lift web size changes, unsnap the snap fastener and expose the tuck tab.
Select the appropriate size setting. If selecting small or medium, insert the tuck tab into the
appropriate tuck pocket and remove any slack from the main lift web adjustment strap. If selecting
the large setting, the main lift web adjustment strap will be fully extended with the tuck tab folded
in towards the main lift web. Secure the snap fastener again. Conduct the same size change on the
opposite main lift web.
The tuck pocket for the small setting is located above the chest strap on each main lift web.
The tuck pocket for the medium setting is located below the chest strap on each main lift web. For
the large setting, there is no tuck pocket; the main lift web adjustment strap will be fully extended
with slack removed.
Although the main lift webs provide the capability to increase their length to accommodate
jumpers at the higher percentiles and permit essential items to be worn under the parachute
harness.
Jumpers should only adjust the main lift webs after all attempts to size using the maximum
adjustments on the diagonal back straps have been exhausted
z Step 4. Don the main parachute harness. Both jumpers perform the following steps:
The No. 1 jumper dons the helmet and assumes a modified “high jumper” position.
The No. 2 jumper places the parachute harness over the jumper’s arms with the diagonal back
straps resting on the jumper's shoulders and hold the pack tray high on the jumper’s back.
z Step 5. Secure the chest strap. The No. 1 jumper performs step 5, which includes the following
actions:
Ensuring that the quick-release webbing retainer is the width of two to three fingers.
Completing an “S” fold or accordion fold and securing the excess webbing in its webbing
retainer. This ensures that the tabbed ending points towards the chest strap friction adapter.
Pulling the ejector snaps and L-shaped ejector snap pads as far forward as possible towards
the center of the groin while ensuring that the saddle is routed underneath the hamstrings (not
the buttocks).
Note. Maintain a modified “high jumper position.”
Secure the aviator kit bag (AKB) or universal parachutist recovery bag (UPRB).
Secure the leg straps with the AKB or UPRB.
Aviator’s kit bag: ensures that the left leg strap is properly routed through the exposed
carrying handle, over the bottom and under the top. Then, complete an “S” fold, accordion
fold, or roll the free running ends of the leg straps into the webbing retainers.
Universal parachutist recovery bag: ensure the left leg strap is properly routed through the
left leg strap retainer and the right leg strap is properly routed through the right leg strap
retainer. Then, complete an “S” fold, accordion fold, or roll the free running ends of the leg
straps into the webbing retainers.
z Step 6. Adjust the parachute to the individual jumper. Both jumpers perform step 6, which
includes the following actions:
The No. 1 jumper secures the D-rings with the thumbs of each hand, then pulls downward,
pressing against the body, and stands erect.
After the No. 2 jumper is standing erect, remove all slack from the horizontal back strap by
simultaneously pulling up on both sides of the horizontal back straps where they emerge from
the main lift web.

Personal Equipment
z Step 7. Continue adjusting parachute to the individual jumper. Both jumpers perform step 7, which
includes the following actions:
The No. 1 jumper remains standing erect, releases the D-rings and applies pressure to the
horizontal back strap just above the leg strap ejector snaps until a tight but not uncomfortable
adjustment has been made.
The No. 2 jumper removes all slack on each side by placing the palm of one hand on top of a
diagonal back strap and pressing while tightening down the free running end with the other.
The jumper “S” folds, accordion folds, or rolls the free running ends and secures them into
the webbing retainers.
z Step 8. Next jumper dons a parachute. The No. 1 and 2 jumpers then change positions and repeat
steps 1 through 6. When both jumpers have donned their parachute harnesses, they face each other
and make a visual inspection. They correct any discrepancies before securing the reserve
parachute. All excess webbing is stowed in webbing retainers.
Note. After donning the T-11 harness, the pack tray’s top edge should be in alignment with the
jumper’s shoulder blades for optimum position of the harness. The center point of the leg strap
ejector snaps and quick-fit V-ring should rest in the jumper’s hip socket.
T-11 RESERVE DONNING

2-51. The jumper attaches the reserve parachute by cradling the parachute in his or her left arm with the
connector snaps up and the rip cord handle in the palm of the left hand. If the jumper is part of the jumpmaster
team or pushing a door bundle the jumper must have the T-11R marked with yellow pressure sensitive tape
on the top carrying handle. If any other jumper has a T-11R marked for jumpmaster, that reserve must not be
used and another must be obtained from Control and Issue.
2-52. The jumpers performs the following steps when donning the T-11 reserve parachute:
z Step 1: No. 1 and No. 2 jumpers take the following actions:
The No. 1 jumper cradles the reserve parachute in the crook of their left arm with the rip cord
handle in the palm of the left hand.
The No. 2 jumper removes all twists from the waistband and hands the free running end to
the No. 1 jumper, being careful not to reintroduce a twist in the waistband.
z Step 2:Jumpers No. 1 and 2 perform step 2 by taking the following actions:
The No. 1 jumper passes the waistband through the waistband retainers on the rear of the
reserve parachute from right to left. Then attaches the right connector snap to the right D-ring
on the harness, the left connector snap to the left D-ring, and ensures that the waistband is
below the D-rings.
The No. 2 jumper attaches the waistband to the waistband-adjuster panel and grasps the
running end of the jumper’s waistband in his or her right hand, placing the left hand on the
end of the reserve for leverage. The jumper pulls the slack from the waistband and secures it
to the waistband adjuster panel, forming a quick release.
z Step 3: The No. 1 and 2 jumpers change positions and repeat steps 1 through 3. When both jumpers
have donned their parachute harnesses and reserve, they face each other and make a visual
inspection. They correct any discrepancies. After doing so, they are now ready to jump; however,
before jumping from an aircraft, they will receive a detailed safety inspection from a JM.
Note. When moving with the parachute harness on, the jumper will keep their hand on the rip cord
handle at all times to prevent accidental activation of the reserve parachute.

WARNINGS
Hands must remain over the ends of the reserve parachute with
fingers naturally spread. Failure to do so may cause unintentional
activation of the reserve parachute while standing in the door or
during exit from the aircraft.
If no opening shock is felt by the jumper at the end of the 6000
count, he or she must activate the reserve parachute for a total
malfunction.

Attempting to roll off the canopy could wrap the suspension line
around the higher jumper’s body, preventing the main canopy from
re-inflating and preventing them from deploying the reserve.

Water Landing with a Life Preserver

3-29. When wearing a T-11 parachute harness and jumping with a life preserver (see figure 3-4), the jumper
does the following in addition to the actions mentioned under water landing:
z While still in the air, the jumper activates the life preserver prior to assuming a landing attitude.
z If the life preserver fails to inflate, the jumper inflates the life preserver manually by blowing air
into the inflation valve hose.
z The jumper will jettison any combat equipment.
z Looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers below, lowers their equipment, and jettisons
their equipment.
z Assumes a landing attitude and prepares to do a PLF in the event the water is shallow.
z Once in the water, the jumper activates both canopy release assemblies by using the hand-to-shoulder
method or the hand-to-assist method as described previously in the procedures for recovering from
the drag.
z The jumper does not remove the harness since the life preserver will support the jumper.
Note. For more information on life preservers, refer to chapter 12 of this publication.
Figure 3-4. Landing with a life preserver

Chapter 3
HIGH-TENSION WIRE LANDING

3-30. The jumper does the following if unable to avoid high tension lines when landing (see figure 3-5):
z If the jumper is drifting towards wires, he or she immediately tries to slip away.
z If the jumper cannot slip away, he or she looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers below
and jettisons their equipment, making a mental note of where it lands.
z Ensures that the jumper e maintains their helmet.
z Assumes a landing attitude by keeping feet and knees together and exaggerating the bend in his
or her knees. The jumper keeps eyes open, chin on chest, and their back arched.
z Places the palms of their hands high on the inside of the front set of risers.
z When the jumper makes contact with the wires, he or she begins a hard rocking motion and
attempts to pass through the wires.
z Prepares to do a PLF in the event the jumper passes through the wires.
z If the jumper gets hung up in the wires, he or she does not attempt to lower them self to the ground.
The jumper stays where they are and waits for assistance.

WARNINGS
Hand must remain over the ends of the reserve parachute with
fingers naturally spread. Failure to do so may cause unintentional
activation of the reserve parachute while standing in the door or
during exit from the aircraft.
If no opening shock is felt by the jumper at the end of the 4000
count, the jumper must activate the reserve parachute for a
total malfunction.

WARNINGS
During descent, the jumper must watch to avoid collisions and
entanglements with other jumpers and to avoid obstacles on the
DZ. Jumpers stay 50 feet away from other jumpers.
Due to the canopy’s steerability and maneuverability, jumpers
should stay at least 50 feet apart in the air to prevent collisions and
entanglements.

WARNINGS
Continuing to utilize one steering line during the fifth point of
performance “LAND” will cause the canopy to remain in a turn and
NOT slow the jumper’s lateral ground speed.
All riser slips during the last 200 feet should be gentle and smooth
enough to adjust direction only as needed. Pulling down 12 inches
or more on both rear risers smoothly and quickly will reduce
forward speed, then increase the jumper’s rate of descent in less
than two seconds.

CAUTION
Extreme care must be taken when climbing down the T-11 reserve
parachute suspension lines because of the slippery coating applied to
the suspension lines. Remember, when in doubt, stay where you are
and wait for assistance.
WATER LANDING
3-81. As soon as the jumper realizes he or she is going to land in water, they take the following actions:
z Immediately tries to turn away if the jumper is drifting towards a body of water.
z If the jumper cannot turn away, looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers underneath,
and lowers the equipment.
z Jettisons the helmet, making a mental note of where it lands.
z Activates the quick release in the waistband, disconnects the left connector snap, and rotates the
reserve parachute to the right.
z Seats them self well into the saddle and activates the quick release in the chest strap, completely
removing the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter.
z Regains canopy control.
z Prior to entering the water, the jumper assumes a landing attitude by keeping feet and knees
together, knees slightly bent, and places hands on the leg strap ejector snaps.
z When the balls of the feet make contact with the water, the jumper activates both ejector snaps for
the leg straps, arches back, throws arms above the head, and slides out of the parachute harness.
z Swims upwind or upstream away from the canopy.
z Is prepared to execute a PLF if the water is shallow (two feet or less in depth).
Without a Life Preserver

3-82. The jumper does the following (in addition to the actions under water landing) when wearing the MC-
6 parachute harness and executing a water landing without a life preserver is imminent (see figure 3-7 on
page 3-24):
z Looks below to ensure there are no follow jumpers and lowers the equipment.
z Jettisons his or her helmet, making a mental note of where it lands.

C-130/C-17/C-27J Exiting Procedures
This chapter discusses the three exiting procedures, alternate door exit procedures
(ADEPT) option 1, ADEPT option 2, mass exit, and the proper method for jumpers to
exit the C-130, C-17, and the C-27J aircraft safely. All units must strictly enforce
proper exiting procedures from fixed-wing aircraft. Exiting procedures are perishable
skills, therefore, be well briefed and rehearsed prior to any Airborne operation. (See
chapter 10 for jumpmaster practical work inside the aircraft [PWAC].)
ALTERNATE DOOR EXITING PROCEDURES FOR TRAINING
WARNINGS
Only one series of parachute will be suspended in the air at any
one given time and on one given pass over the drop zone. Mixing
parachutes that have different opening performance
characteristics may lead to hazardous conditions incidents.
Do not sacrifice safety for time, complete the full inspection of each
jumper’s USLM down to the main curved pin protector flap. If the
inspection cannot be completed in time, the pass will be aborted.
An improperly routed USLM can cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Any member of the JM team can call a NO DROP anytime it is
determined something is wrong or unsafe.
5-1. The alternate door exit procedures for training options are used when jumping the T-11 ATPS and
MC-6 series parachutes. This training safety measure allows the maximum number of jumpers to exit the
aircraft with a minimum risk of high altitude entanglements. ADEPT options are as follows:
z ADEPT option 1: during a single pass, only one stick of jumpers on one side of the aircraft exit
their paratroop door prior to any jumpers exiting from the opposite paratroop door.
z ADEPT option 2: during a single pass, one stick of jumpers exit from the PJMs door, followed by
a stick of jumpers from the AJMs door.
z Mass exit: this exit procedure is used only when jumping the T-11 ATPS. During this type of exit,
jumpers will exit from both doors at the same time with one second intervals between jumpers and
a half second between paratroop doors.

Chapter 5
CAUTION
No more than 20 jumpers per anchor line cable for a C-130H, no more
than 31 per anchor line cable on a C-130-J30(C-130J), and no more
than 27 per anchor line cable (outboard) and 24 per anchor line cable
(inboard) for a C-17 Globemaster III. No more than 13 jumpers per
anchor line cable for a C-27J.
C-130/C-17 ADEPT OPTION 1 EXCITING PROCEDURES

5-2. During a single pass over the drop zone, only one stick of jumpers on one side of the aircraft jumps.
After issuing the jump command of “STAND UP” (see chapter 10 for JM PWAC) the following jumper
actions will occur:
z Only the jumpers for that pass will stand up; on a C-130 series aircraft, the jumpers sitting in the
forward outboard portion may stand up on their seats if required, in order to allow the inboard
personnel to stand up, raise seats, and secure them. (In the C-17, standing on seats is not required.)
z Once the inboard seating is raised and secured, the outboard personnel in the forward portion of
the aircraft will raise and secure their seats.
z Immediately after putting the seats up, the jumper must tighten down their appropriate adjustable
leg straps and secure the excess webbing in the webbing retainer when jumping with
combat equipment.
z The first three jumpers should be positioned one behind the other, with the rest of the stick
staggered inboard and outboard.
z When the command of HOOK UP is given, the jumpers will detach USL snap hook from the top
carrying handle of the reserve parachute. Hook up to the appropriate anchor line cable with the
opening gate towards the skin of the aircraft. Jumpers will form a bight (four in the hand, two
below); jumpers will not touch the double sewn portion of the USLM. The first three jumpers will
extend their static line arms to obtain the proper distance between jumpers, all others will hold
their (static line) elbow high.
z The nonstatic line hand will protect the rip cord handle and the jumper’s feet will be staggered
with the outboard foot forward.
z When the command of “CHECK STATIC LINES” is given, jumpers will check the USLM from
the point of attachment to where it disappears over the top of the shoulder. The jumper behind will
trace the USLM past the static line slack retainer band and down to the first stow. If the static line
slack retainer band that is holding the USLM breaks, the jumper will then stow any excess static
line in the other static line slack retainer band. The last two jumpers turn towards the skin of the
aircraft and the second to last jumper will check the last jumper’s USLM.
z On the command of “CHECK EQUIPMENT,” each jumper will:
Trace the rim of the helmet.
Trace the chinstrap.
Touch and visually inspect the chest strap, both left and right leg straps.
Touch and visually inspect to ensure the hook-pile tape lowering line is secured to the left
triangle link and all excess webbing is properly secured in its appropriate webbing retainers
when jumping combat equipment.
z After the JM completes the door checks, 1-minute, 30-second time warnings (jumpers will relay
announcements), and gives the command of “STAND BY,” the JM will escort the No. 1 jumper
into door position and the JM will be positioned close enough to the lead edge of the paratroop
door to control the flow of jumpers, but far enough back as to not impede the jumpers’ movement
to the paratroop door.
Note. On a C-17, the JM will not issue the command of “STAND BY” until the amber light is on

CAUTIONS
Jumpmasters must be prepared to initiate red light procedures at any
time after the green light has been illuminated.
Jumpers will grasp their universal static lines approximately six inches
from the point of attachment; generally below the double-sewn portion,
with their corresponding static line elbow perpendicular to shoulder level
in order to reduce misrouted static lines.

CAUTION
Mass exit is not authorized for the C-27J. It is recommended that all first-
time jumpers be briefed planeside regarding the narrow size of the
paratroop door and the undisturbed high-velocity airflow immediately
outside of the paratroop door prior to their first jump on this aircraft.

C-130/C-17/C-27J Exiting Procedures
z The No. 1 jumper will hand the USLM to the safety and should be positioned about two feet from
the center of the jump platform. The jumper keeps their feet spread and legs slightly flexed so that
their weight is equally distributed over both feet to maintain balance.
z Follow-on jumpers close up behind the preceding jumper and keep a position with feet spread and
legs slightly flexed so that their weight is equally distributed over both feet to maintain balance.
z The JM can control the No. 1 jumper by grasping one of the jumper’s diagonal back straps or
according to the unit SOP.
z At the command, “GO,” the No. 1 jumper moves toward the door and onto the jump platform,
focusing on the horizon. The jumper pushes off with either foot and vigorously jumps up 6 inches
and out 36 inches away from the jump platform, immediately snapping into a good, tight
body position.
Note. On a C-17, the jumper will take one or two additional steps on the jump platform before
pushing off with either foot.
z As each jumper begins to move, they will utilize a controlled movement technique (slow deliberate
walk) and assume an elbow locked position with the arm that is controlling the USLM. They place
the static line control hand so that it is nearly touching the back of the pack tray of the jumper in
front of him, which establishes the proper interval between jumpers. They do not place the static
line control hand in a position so that it extends past the pack tray of the jumper in front of them.
z When the jumper is perpendicular to the paratroop door, each jumper takes one more step, makes
eye-to-eye contact with the safety, and the safety takes control of the USLM.
z The jumper will immediately return the static line hand to the end of the reserve parachute, without
swimming the USLM.
z Places the palms of their hands (fingers naturally spread) on the ends of the reserve parachute with
the elbows tight into the sides.
z The jumper will execute a left or right face to the open paratroop door only when the safety has
positive control of the USLM.
z The jumper utilizes the controlled movement technique towards the paratroop door and onto the
jump platform, focusing on the horizon. The jumper pushes off with either foot, vigorously jumps
up 6 inches and out 36 inches away from the aircraft, immediately snapping into a good, tight
body position.
5-9. The AJM observes the actions in the PJMs door. When the AJM spots the last three jumpers in the
vicinity of the paratroop door of the PJMs stick, he or she faces the jumpers and issues the jump command
of “STAND BY.” When the AJM sees the last jumper clear the jump platform in the PJMs door, they turn
and recheck the jump caution lights. (The PJM is now observing the actions in the AJMs paratroop door.)
5-10. If the jump caution lights are still green, the AJM orally and physically issues the command, “GO,” to
the No. 1 jumper. All jumpers will follow the exiting procedures as explained earlier in this chapter.
5-11. When the last jumper exits from the AJMs side of the aircraft (last pass), the AJM gives his or her
USLM to the safety, checks the jump caution lights, and if they are green, exits. The PJM, seeing the AJM
exit, passes his or her USLM to the safety, checks the jump caution lights, and if they are green, exits.
5-12. Safety personnel visually clear to the rear of the aircraft and give each other a thumbs up signal. They
help the loadmaster recover deployment bags.
C-27J ADEPT OPTION 2 EXITING PROCEDURES
WARNING
Mass exit is not authorized for this aircraft.

&KDSWHU
5-13. During a single pass over the drop zone, one stick of jumpers exit from the PJMs paratroop door,
followed by a stick of jumpers from the AJMs paratroop door. After issuing the jump command of “PORT
SIDE AND STARBOARD SIDE PERSONNEL STAND UP” (see chapter 10 for JM PWAC) the following
jumper actions will occur:
z Only the jumpers for that pass will stand up. Securing seats is optional based upon the unit SOP
and mission:
Raise seats and secure them.
Seats can be left secured emplace (down), this causes all jumpers to execute a 90 degree turn
around the last cargo seat at the paratroop door. (This method of exiting must be rehearsed.)
A 90-degree exit is vital due to the absence of an air deflector.
z Immediately after putting the seats up (if applicable), the jumpers must tighten down their
appropriate adjustable leg straps and secure the excess webbing in the webbing retainer when
jumping combat equipment.
z When the command of “HOOK UP” is given, the jumpers will detach USL snap hook from the
top carrying handle of the reserve parachute. Hook up to the anchor line cable with the opening
gate towards the skin of the aircraft. Jumpers will form a bight (four in the hand, two below).
Jumpers will not touch the double-sewn portion of the USLM. The first three jumpers will extend
their static line arms to obtain the proper distance between jumpers. All others will hold their static
line elbow high.
CAUTION
No more than 13 jumpers per anchor line cable on a C-27J.
z The nonstatic line hand will protect the rip cord handle and the jumper’s feet will be staggered
with the outboard foot forward.
z When the command of “CHECK STATIC LINES” is given, jumpers will check the USLM from
the point of attachment to where it disappears over the top of the shoulder. The jumper behind will
trace the USLM past the static line slack retainer band and down to the first stow. If the static line
slack retainer band that is holding the USLM breaks, the jumper will then stow any excess static
line in the other static line slack retainer band. The last two jumpers will turn towards the skin of
the aircraft and the second to last jumper will check the last jumper’s USLM.
z On the command of “CHECK EQUIPMENT,” each jumper will:
Trace the rim of the helmet.
Trace the chinstrap.
Touch and visually inspect the chest strap, both left and right leg straps.
Touch and visually inspect to ensure the HPT lowering is secured to the left triangle link and
all excess webbing is properly secured in its appropriate webbing retainers when jumping
combat equipment.
z After the JM completes the door checks, 1-minute, 30-second time warnings (jumpers will relay
announcements), and gives the command of “STAND BY,” the JM will escort the No. 1 jumper
into door position and the JM will be positioned close enough to the lead edge of the paratroop
door to control the flow of jumpers, but far enough back as to not impede the jumpers’ movement
to the paratroop door.
z The No. 1 jumper will hand the USLM to the safety and should be positioned about two feet from
the center of the jump platform. The jumper keeps his or her feet spread and legs slightly flexed
so that their weight is equally distributed over both feet to maintain balance.
z Follow-on jumpers close up behind the preceding jumper and keep a position with feet spread and
legs slightly flexed so that their weight is equally distributed over both feet to maintain balance.
z The JM can control the No. 1 jumper by grasping one of the jumper’s diagonal back straps or
according to the unit SOP.

WARNING
The aircraft does not have an air deflector to disrupt the high-
velocity airflow immediately outside the paratroop door. Therefore,
jumpers must make a vigorous exit and have a tight body position
to avoid making contact with the aircraft. Additionally,
jumpmasters and safeties may experience turbulent air in the
immediate workspace around the paratroop door.

PART TWO
Advanced Techniques
This part discusses key personnel, jumpmaster, safety actions, and the departure
airfield control officer
Chapter 7
Key Personnel
This chapter discusses responsibilities of key personnel, prerequisites, and currency.

The initial training and follow-on refresher training of key personnel are of
major concern to commanders. Proper training and supervision ensures that these
key personnel follow the correct procedures and operational safety measures during
Airborne operations.
A jumpmaster may remain current after a permanent change of station if they

performed JM or AJM duty on a high-performance aircraft within the preceding 180
days of signing into a gaining unit. A jumpmaster should ensure that upon arrival to
their gaining unit and completing reception and integration training, that their next duty
is still within 180 days of the last duty they performed prior to permanently changing
their station. A Memorandum for Record signed by the first colonel (O-6) in the
Soldier’s chain of command stating that the JM performed above stated duty within 90
days is required. This Memorandum of Record and DA Form 1307, Individual Jump
Record, reflecting the same information must go forward with the JM to their next duty
station.
Basic Airborne refresher training is conducted to validate that newly assigned jumpers
can properly rig their individual equipment, properly fit their parachute harness, safely
perform their individual tasks inside the aircraft, and conduct a proper parachute
landing fall. Jumpmaster Refresher training is conducted to validate newly assigned
JM-qualified personnel on new equipment training for all unit-specific equipment and
newly fielded equipment, jumpmaster personnel inspection, prejump training, drop
zone control and support criteria, mock door training, and PWAC. This training also
ensures that unit-specific items of equipment and unit SOPs are covered and the Soldier
is familiar with the equipment and SOPs.
COMMANDER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
7-1. The Airborne commander designates the key personnel for each Airborne operation. These key
personnel are the primary and assistant jumpmasters, safety personnel, departure airfield control officer
(DACO), drop zone support team leader (DZSTL), drop zone safety officer (DZSO), and malfunction officer

Chapter 7
(MO). The JM, DACO, DZSTL, or DZSO can delegate their authority to subordinates, but they cannot
delegate their responsibilities.
z Airborne commander. The Airborne commander should be a jumper, but will not be a member
of any jumpmaster team, or serve as DACO, DZSO, or DZSTL. The Airborne commander must
be assigned to the command that approved the DD Form 2977, Deliberate Risk Assessment
Worksheet, for the Airborne operation being conducted.
z PJM, AJM, and safety personnel. Each aircraft has a designated PJM, AJM, and safety
personnel. The Airborne commander gives the designated PJM responsibility for and command
authority over all personnel onboard a jump aircraft. PJM, AJM, and safety personnel duties are
described in chapters 8, 9, and 10 of this publication.
z DACO. The DACO is located at the departure airfield and has coordination responsibility
with the ground liaison officer and airlift control element (ALCE) or aircrew for the loading
of personnel, equipment, and supplies into the aircraft. Also, the DACO provides the JM
with changes to station time and the overall operational plan, current DZ weather, airfield crossing
procedures, and the aircraft parking plan. Complete DACO duties are discussed in chapter 11
of this publication.
z DZSO or DZSTL. Each DZ has a DZSO or DZSTL. The DZSO or DZSTL has command
authority over the actions and safety of all personnel on the drop zone. The DZSO and DZSTL
procedures for DZ operations are described in chapters 20, 21, and 22 of this publication.
z Malfunction officer. As a member of the drop zone support team (DZST), the MO is located on
the DZ where they can best view the airdrop. It is the responsibility of the MO to promptly and
accurately investigate malfunctions and may enlist as many personnel as needed to watch for
malfunctions and assist during the investigation process. AR 59-4 will be in possession of the
malfunctions officer during jump operations. It describes in detail the duties and responsibilities
of the MO during any investigation resulting in the partial or total malfunction of personnel
airdrops.
KEY PERSONNEL PREREQUISITES

7-2. The following minimum standards must be met before personnel will be allowed to perform PJM,
AJM, safety, DACO, DZSO, DZSTL, or MO duties for personnel and heavy equipment airdrop operations.
Individuals who are appointed as PJMs, AJMs, or safety personnel, must have the prerequisites described
below. The following qualifications apply to JMs who are commissioned officers, warrant officers, or NCOs:
z U.S. Army and U.S. Navy: E-5 or above.
z U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force: E-4 or above.
7-3. To be JM qualified, the JM must be a graduate from an authorized and accredited JM course and have
been issued the additional skill identifier of 5W. (Refer to appendix B for plan of instruction requirements.)
Authorized JM courses can be found at Fort Benning, Georgia; with a mobile training team at Fort Bragg,
North Carolina; or at a special operations forces’ JM course. Jumpmaster qualified must go through
jumpmaster refresher training prior to conducting any jumpmaster duties. (Refer to appendix C for reception
and integration requirements.) This training must be if the jumpmaster is outside of the reception and
integration requirements.
7-4. To be JM current, the JM must have either performed JM or AJM duties within the preceding 180
days; or if a senior-rated or master-rated parachutist, performed duty as a safety on military, high-
performance fixed-wing aircraft utilizing a door or ramp exit within the preceding 180 days; or completed a
JM refresher course (refer to appendix C) in the preceding 180 days and be a current jumper. A jumpmaster
must be a current and qualified T-11, or MC-6 (or both) jumper in order to perform jumpmaster duties.
Notes. JMs must perform duties every 180 days to maintain currency on T-11 or MC-6 parachutes.
For U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps only: if fixed-wing high-performance aircraft are
not available, the JM, AJM, and safety may meet currency requirements using organic rotary-wing
or nonstandard aircraft.

Key Personnel
7-5. A new graduate of a recognized JM course must perform safety duties twice before performing AJM
duties and perform AJM duties twice before performing PJM duties. This is referred to as “jumpmaster
baseline currency.” Once a jumpmaster has performed baseline requirements after graduating a recognized
course, no further baseline requirements are needed after jumpmaster refresher training.
ROTARY-WING AIRCRAFT/NONSTANDARD AIRCRAFT

PERSONNEL
7-6. To perform the duties of the PJM on a rotary-wing aircraft or nonstandard aircraft, the JM must first
meet the performance duty requirements of the PJM on a fixed-wing. A jumpmaster may conduct JM
duties and maintain currency from a rotary-winged or nonstandard aircraft with the exception of aircraft
that utilize exits from a seated position during a 180-day period. However, the next JM duty counted towards
currency must be from a fixed-wing, high-performance craft within the next 180 days. A jumpmaster cannot
maintain currency with two consecutive JM duties from a rotary-winged nonstandard aircraft, as stated
in this paragraph.
Note. This allows all jumpmasters one year to execute JM duties from a fixed-wing, high-
performance aircraft.
7-7. JM must observe a current JM in the performance of their duties for a rotary-wing or nonstandard
aircraft operation (prejump training, mock door training, aircraft inspection, rigging procedures, and the
actual airdrop operation). The qualifying JM must then be observed during the performance of
their duties by a current rotary-wing, aircraft-qualified PJM before being allowed to perform the above listed
duties unsupervised.
7-8. In addition to meeting the qualifications listed previously in this chapter, the assistant jumpmaster must
have performed the duties a safety officer at least twice. Safety personnel must also meet the listed previously
in this chapter, and also be a current and qualified JM to be appointed as a safety.
7-9. To be appointed a departure airfield control officer, individuals must meet the prerequisites
listed previously in this chapter, be a current and qualified JM and have performed the duties as an assistant
DACO at least once.
7-10. Drop zone safety officers must meet the qualifications listed previously in this chapter, are a current
and qualified JM or a combat crew trainer or special tactics squadron (STS) certified. For Ground Marking
Release System (GMRS) or Verbally Initiated Release System (VIRS) drops, the DZSO must be a qualified
JM in the type of jump being conducted, and have assisted a current and qualified DZSO performing their
duties during an airdrop operation involving personnel or heavy equipment.
7-11. For U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps operations, the DZSO is an E-4 or above, or DOD civilian
equivalent. U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps DZSOs are also:
z Parachutist qualified and current in the operation being conducted (static line or free fall).
z Have completed a DZSO course of instruction using Naval Special Warfare/Explosive Ordnance
Disposal (EOD) Lesson Training Guide DZSO administered by a current JM.
z Designated in writing by the commander as a DZSO. To be DZSO current, the DZSO must have
performed the duties of a DZSO within the preceding 180 days. If noncurrent, received refresher
training from a current JM or DZSO and run a drop zone while under instruction.
Note. For combination airdrop operations, the DZSO and DZSTL must follow the procedures for
heavy drop operations, but observe the jumpers as they exit the aircraft.
7-12. A DZSO refresher course can be conducted by an individual that is a current and qualified JM and
DZSO. Noncurrent DZSOs need only complete the DZSO requirements of the Jumpmaster Refresher training
curriculum found in appendix C. In addition:
z The individual being refreshed on the duties of the DZSO must be a current JM.
2FWREHU TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010 7-3

Chapter 7
z At the completion of DZSO Refresher the JM must perform duties of the DZSO within 180 days
in order to be a current DZSO, and perform one DZSO duty every 180 days from the initial
duty to remain current.
z If the individual has never performed the duties of DZSO they must assist once before performing
the duties of the DZSO.
7-13. Individuals must meet the following prerequisites to be appointed as an assistant drop zone safety
officer (ADZSO):
z Be a commissioned officer, warrant officer, or NCO (U.S. Army and U.S. Navy: E-5s or above;
U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force: E-4s or above).
z Be a current and qualified JM for personnel or heavy equipment drop.
z Be certified as an ADZSO by having attended one of the following:

U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Jumpmaster Course.
Must have the ASI 5W.
z To be ADZSO current, the ADZSO must have performed the duties of a DZSO or assistant DZSO
within the preceding 180 days, graduated jumpmaster school within the last 180 days, or
completed a jumpmaster refresher course within the preceding 180 days.
Note. For combination airdrop operations, the DZSO and ADZSO must follow the procedures for
7-14. Individuals must meet the following prerequisites to be appointed as a DZSTL:

z Be a commissioned officer, warrant officer, or NCO (U.S. Army and U.S. Navy: E-5s or above;
U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force: E-4s or above).
z Be a current and qualified JM for personnel or heavy equipment.

z To be DZSTL current, the DZSTL must have performed the duties of a DZSTL or assistant
DZSTL within the preceding 180 days or completed a DZSTL refresher course taught by current
DZSTL personnel within the preceding 180 days.
Note. DZSTLs and ADZSOs in support of CDS airdrops are not required to be Airborne qualified,
on jump status, or JM qualified and current, but they must have attended an authorized pathfinder
course. For combination airdrop operations the DZSO and DZSTL must follow the procedures for
7-15. Individuals must meet the following prerequisites to be appointed as a MO:

z Be a commissioned officer, warrant officer, or NCO (U.S. Army and U.S. Navy: E-5 or above;
U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force: E-4 or above).
z The individual must be a qualified parachute rigger from the unit providing the air items used

WARNING
The higher jumper does not attempt to roll off the canopy as this
could wrap the canopy or suspension lines around their body,
preventing the main canopy from reinflating or preventing the
higher jumper from deploying the reserve parachute.

WARNING
Tree and wire landings only: do not remove the outer tactical
vest, if worn.
Note. If the jumper becomes entangled in the wires, they make no attempt to climb down, but
waits to be rescued by a recovery team.
WATER LANDING
8-56. Water landings can be dangerous and should be avoided. Immediately look and slip away utilizing a
one riser or diagonal slip when beginning to drift towards a water obstacle. If a water landing is imminent,
and the jumper does not have a life preserver, they should perform the following:
z Looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers and lowers their equipment.
z Jettisons his or her helmet, making a mental note of where it lands.
z Activates the quick release in the waistband, disconnects the left connector snap and rotates the
z Prior to entering the water the jumper assumes a landing attitude by keeping feet and knees
together, knees slightly bent and places their hands on the ejector snaps for the leg straps.
z When the balls of their feet make contact with the water, the jumper activates both ejector snaps
for the leg straps, arches his or her back, throws their arms above their head and slides out of the
parachute harness.
z Is prepared to execute a PLF if the water is shallow.
z If the canopy comes down on top of the jumper, they locate a seam, and follow it to the skirt
of the canopy.
8-57. Sometimes, life preservers are provided for specific missions or training events. The following are
instances when life preservers may be provided and the actions that should be taken:
z Emergency water landings could occur on a tactical training mission where the route to the DZ is
over a large body of water. On such flights, life preservers are issued to jumpers. If the aircraft
malfunctions, the jumpers may need to jump over the water.
z Emergency water landings require jumpers to leave any combat equipment onboard the aircraft so
they do not become entangled with the equipment in the water.
z A jumper may find themself over water with attached combat equipment due to drifting off a DZ
bordered by water, or during emergency bailout after being hooked up onboard the aircraft. If this
occurs, the jumper must lower their combat equipment and jettison their equipment.
z Deliberate water landings are executed for training in selected water drop zones (WDZs). Jumpers
may wear combat equipment only after it has been waterproofed and float checked.
z The jumper wears the inflatable life preserver under their harness with the inflatable portions under
the armpits. Jumpers wearing an underwater demolition team (UDT) vest will route the chest strap
under the UDT vest to prevent crushing the chest if inflated.
z The jumper will jettison any or all of their equipment including their helmet.

Chapter 8
z Looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers below and lowers the equipment.
z Once in the water, the jumper activates both canopy release assemblies by using the hand-to-
shoulder method or the hand-to-assist method, as described previously in the procedures for
recovering from the drag.
z The jumper does not remove the harness and equipment, since the life preserver will support a
fully combat-equipped jumper.
Note. For more information on life preservers, refer to chapter 12 of this publication.
8-58. All first time MC-6 jumpers must watch the MC-6 instructional video and when mandated by the
Airborne commander or unit SOP. All personnel must attend SAT. Jumpers must be positioned so their
actions can be viewed by the JM team and so they can hear them. Sustained Airborne training is performance-
oriented training and should be tailored to fit the mission. All JMs and leaders must make aggressive and
positive on-the-spot corrections. SAT must be taught proficiently.
Note. JM version of mock door training and prejump for the T-11 ATPS and MC-6 series
parachute can be found in appendix E of this publication.
8-59. Training on the five points of performance must be attended by all jumpers and JMs. The following
are the five points of performance:
z Proper exit, check body position, and count.
z Check canopy and gain canopy control.
z Keep a sharp look out at all times and constantly compare the rate of descent.
z Prepare to land.
z Land.
8-60. The first point of performance is proper exit, check body position, and count. Jumpers must perform
the following actions:
z Keep chin on chest.
z Keep eyes open.
z Keep elbows into sides.
z Keep hands over the ends of the reserve parachute and fingers naturally spread.
z Bend body forward at the waist.
z Keep feet and knees together.
z Lock knees to the rear.
z Count to 4000 with the MC-6 parachute (fixed-wing aircraft).
z Count to 6000 with the MC-6 parachute (rotary-winged aircraft).
z Immediately activate the reserve parachute using the pull drop method, if opening shock
is not felt.
8-61. Immediately after the 4000 or 6000 count, the jumper will conduct the second point of performance of
check canopy and gain canopy control. Jumpers must perform the following actions:
z Reaches up to the elbow locked position and secures one toggle in each hand located on the inside
of the rear set of risers and pulls the toggles down to approximately eye level.
z Make a 360-degree check of the canopy.
z If the jumper has twists, they will compare the rate of descent with fellow jumpers; if they are
falling faster than fellow jumpers or cannot compare the rate of descent, they activate the reserve
parachute using the pull drop method. If they are not falling faster than fellow jumpers, then they
will remove the twists.

WATER LANDING
8-77. Water landings can be dangerous and should be avoided. If drifting towards water, they immediately
try to turn away. If a water landing is imminent, the jumper should perform the following:
z Look below them self to ensure there are no follow jumpers and lowers their equipment.
z Jettisons their helmet, making a mental note of where it lands.
z Activates the quick release in the waistband, disconnects the left connector snap and rotates the
z Prior to entering the water they assume a landing attitude by keeping feet and knees together,
knees slightly bent, and places their hands on the ejector snaps for the leg straps.
z When the balls of their feet make contact with the water, they activate both ejector snaps for the
leg straps, arch their backs, throw arms above their head and slide out of the parachute harness.
z Is prepared to execute a PLF, if the water is shallow.
z Swims upwind or upstream, away from the canopy.
z If the canopy comes down on top of the jumper, locate a seam and follow it to the skirt
of the canopy.
8-78. Sometimes, life preservers are provided for specific missions or training events. The following are
instances when life preservers may be provided and the actions that should be taken:
z Emergency water landings could occur on a tactical training mission where the route to the DZ is
over a large body of water. On such flights, life preservers are issued to jumpers. If the aircraft
malfunctions, the jumpers may need to jump over the water.
z Emergency water landings require jumpers to leave any combat equipment onboard the aircraft so
they do not become entangled with the equipment in the water.
z A jumper may find themself over water with attached combat equipment due to their drifting off
a DZ bordered by water, or during an emergency bailout after being hooked up onboard the
aircraft. If this occurs, the jumper must lower and jettison their combat equipment.
z Deliberate water landings are executed for training in selected WDZs. Jumpers may wear combat
equipment only after it has been waterproofed and float checked.
z The jumper wears the inflatable life preserver under the harness with the inflatable portions under
their armpits. Jumpers wearing a UDT vest will route the chest strap under the UDT vest to prevent
crushing the chest if inflated.
z The jumper will jettison any or all of their equipment including their helmet.
z The jumper looks below to ensure there are no fellow jumpers below, lowers and jettisons their equipment.
method or the hand-to-assist method as described previously in the procedures for recovering from
the drag.
z Jumpers do not remove their harness since the life preserver will support the jumper.
Note. Refer to chapter 12 for more information about life preservers.

Note. If vacuum loss occurs, the AEBP is still serviceable for the mission. After the completion
of the mission, the AEBP must be repacked.
z Conduct an overall visual inspection of the container for seam separation, holes, cuts, tears, frays,
burns, and the presence of the Army Parachute Log Record.
JUMPMASTER PERSONNEL INSPECTION, T-11 AND MC-6

9-14. The PJM is responsible for the inspection of the jumpers on the aircraft before an Airborne operation.
Only by a complete and systematic equipment inspection of each jumper can the PJM ensure that personnel
aboard their aircraft are safe to jump. Jumpmasters must observe all jumpers don the equipment, and make
corrections as needed to prevent deficiencies. Buddy rigging is used:
z The buddy system is a systematic method of donning and adjusting the main and reserve
parachutes. It provides an additional safety check, prevents unnecessary delays during JMPI, and
provides the jumper with the maximum amount of comfort while wearing the parachute harness.
z To increase efficiency and reduce risks, jumpmasters are encouraged to gather the chalk and
provide a demonstration of the buddy system prior to donning parachutes. This is especially
beneficial during reintegration jumps.
z If a jumpmaster rigs a jumper, it is acceptable for the jumpmaster to JMPI that jumper. The rigging
procedures and the JMPI sequence are two different systematic checks. However, if another JM
is available, then that JM should not inspect the jumper that they rigged.
Note. ALL PERSONNEL must utilize the buddy system to don the main and reserve parachute,
INCLUDING THE JUMPMASTERS upon their completion of JMPI.
9-15. Prior to inspecting the jumper, the JM will conduct an overall inspection of the jumper prior to
placing the jumper into JMPI configuration. The JM will conduct an overall inspection of the jumper to
ensure the following:
z Boots: inspect the jumper’s boots for open lacing hooks. If the jumper is wearing open lacing
hooks, they must be taped prior to the JM placing the jumper into JMPI configuration.
z Combat equipment: inspect the MAWC to ensure the bottom of the adjustable nose cone is at least
six inches above the ground and the top of the MAWC rests between the top of the D-ring and the
base of the left canopy release assembly.
z The JM will look at the canopy release assemblies to ensure they are seated in the hollows of the
jumper’s shoulders, below the collar bone at approximately the name tape level. They look at the
riser assemblies to ensure that the type of parachute being inspected either has or does not have
blue confluence wrap.
9-16. The only person authorized to place the jumper into JMPI configuration is the jumpmaster who will
inspect that jumper. In order to place the jumper into JMPI configuration, the following will occur:
z Move behind the jumper and open the main, curved, pin protector flap from the tuck flap.
z Disconnect the universal static line snap hook from the right outer static line stow bar and ensure
the spring opening gate has spring tension. Remove all excess universal static line modified from
the static line slack retainer band on the static line slack retainer loop, remove all twists, route the
universal static line snap hook through the static line slack retainer band and over the jumper’s
shoulder corresponding with the paratroop door the jumper is to exit.
z The JM will secure the universal static line snap hook to the carrying handle of the T-11 reserve
parachute, with the spring opening gate facing the jumper. Remove the top and bottom tuck tabs,
taking care to ensure that both side tuck tabs remain secure. If the side tuck tabs become unsecure
the jumpmaster will notify a rigger.

Chapter 9
WARNING
Boots fitted with lacing hooks must have the hooks taped prior to
placing the jumper into JMPI configuration. Taping hooked eyelets
is an individual responsibility that must be verified and checked by
the jumpmaster.
z The JM may now begin their inspection. The general principle during JMPI is that the JMs head
and eyes will always be looking where their hands are working. After the JM has completed the
JMPI, the JM will place the jumper into jump configuration.
Note. If jumping the MC-6 parachute or any other steerable, military, static line parachute, the JM
will identify blue confluence wrap on both riser assemblies. Steerable and nonsteerable canopies
cannot be dropped onto the same drop zone during the same pass.
FIVE-FOOT UNIVERSAL STATIC LINE EXTENSION

9-17. For jumps from C-17 aircraft, the universal static line modified will be configured with the five-foot
universal static line extension. JMs must supervise during parachute issue to ensure their jumpers do not draw
incorrectly configured parachutes for the aircraft that they will be jumping.
9-18. The T-11 series parachutes are easily identifiable when configured with five-foot universal static line
extensions by one additional stow on the left and right inner static line stow bars, and the girth hitch formed
by the upper looped portion of the universal static line modified and the cotton buffer of the five-foot
universal static line extension, which will be centered between the top two stows.
9-19. JMs must inspect this prior to detaching the universal static line snap hook from the right outer static
line stow bar. Push in on the girth hitch at the upper looped portion of the universal static line modified and
the cotton buffer of the five-foot universal static line extension and visually inspect both of them for any
burns, cuts, or frays. Ensure that the girth hitch is centered between the first stow on the left and right inner
static line stow bars or the ninth and 10th stows. Once complete, redress the girth hitch. Then, remove the
universal static line snap hook from the right outer static line stow bar and remove all twists in the
universal static line modified, but do not break the first stow (top left inner) when using the five-foot universal
static line extension. Then, route the universal static line snap hook over the jumper’s appropriate
shoulder and connect it to the carrying handle of the reserve parachute with the spring opening gate facing
towards the jumper.
9-20. During JMPI, the jumpmaster will trace between the top two stows as normal, bypassing the girth hitch
of the upper looped portion of the universal static line modified and the cotton buffer of the five-foot universal
static line extension that has already been inspected, while still keeping constant contact with the thumb or
index finger of their working hand.
ADVANCED COMBAT HELMET (FRONT)

9-21. To inspect the front of the advanced combat helmet, the JM will place both hands, fingers and thumbs
extended and joined, fingertips pointing skyward, palms facing the jumper, on the right side of the advanced
combat helmet. The right hand is the working hand; the left hand is the control hand. With the working hand,
trace across the rim of the advanced combat helmet feeling for any sharp or protruding edges that may cut or
damage the jumper’s universal static line modified upon exiting the aircraft. Once both hands are parallel,
place the thumbs on the rim of the advanced combat helmet and tilt the jumpers head to the rear. Conduct a
visual inspection to ensure the three suspension pads are present, are flush with the outer rim, and the oval
pads are covering the bolt ends.
9-22. The JM will place the right index finger on the front left adjustable buckle, to ensure it is free of all
cracked components, is serviceable, the front left adjustable strap is properly routed through it, and the free

z Conduct a visual inspection to ensure the universal parachutist recovery bag is present, neither
leg strap retainer is cut or frayed more than 50 percent, and the folded portions are facing skyward.
The direction of the trapezoid sewn portion has no bearing on how the UPRB is worn
on the jumper.
z Once satisfied with the inspection, stand up in front of the jumper, and issue the command
of “RECOVER.”
UNIVERSAL STATIC LINE MODIFIED
9-30. Inspect the universal static line modified by taking the following actions:
z With the right hand grasp the universal static line snap hook, ensuring the spring opening gate is
facing towards the jumper. Open the right hand and let the universal static line snap hook
rest in the palm.
z Place the index finger of the left hand on the girth hitch of the universal static line modified. Ensure
the green identification marking thread is present and the girth hitch has not been reversed. Place
the index finger of the left hand in the vicinity of the rivet pin (do not cover the rivet pin), to ensure
it is present and free of rust and corrosion.
z With the right hand, regrasp the universal static line snap hook and hold it perpendicular to the
reserve parachute with the spring opening gate facing towards the jumper.
z With the index finger and thumb of the left hand, index finger on top, thumb on bottom, palm
facing the jumper, grasp the universal static line modified at the end of the double sewn portion.
Rotate the universal static line modified down and to the jumper’s right, and push it toward the
universal static line snap hook. Visually inspect inside the girth hitch to ensure it is free of all
cuts, frays, and burns.
z With the index finger or thumb of the right hand, push the girth hitch back towards the universal
static line snap hook and again visually inspect inside the girth hitch for any cuts, frays, or burns.
z Redress the girth hitch down around the narrow portion of the universal static line snap hook and
release the universal static line modified with the left hand.
z Since the universal static line modified is routed over the right shoulder; with the index finger and
thumb of the right hand, form an “O” around the universal static line modified just above the
universal static line snap hook. The jumpmaster should see metal through the “O”.
z Raise the right hand up, simultaneously inspecting the universal static line modified as it passes
through the “O” to ensure it is free of all cuts, frays, or burns.
z Raise the right hand as high as it can go or until resistance is felt, and issue the jumper the
command, “TURN.” Once the jumper has completed the turn, the right hand should be raised high
enough to keep the universal static line modified tight between the control hand and the first stow.
z Place the index finger or index and middle finger of the left hand behind the universal static line
modified below the right hand, making skin-to-skin contact. Trace the universal static line
modified down, ensuring it is free of all cuts, frays, and burns, and it has not been misrouted under
or through either riser assembly to the static line slack retainer band. Withdraw the index finger
or index and middle finger and place below the static line slack retainer band and continue to trace
the universal static line modified to the first stow.
z With either hand, form a bite in the universal static line modified and look at the static line
slack retainer loop. Ensure it is present, serviceable, and two serviceable static line slack retainer
bands are attached.
z Place the bite on top of the pack tray and control it with either hand. This hand becomes the control
hand. The opposite hand becomes the working hand.
z With the index finger and thumb of the working hand, pinch off the first stow and pull it one to
two inches towards the center of the pack tray. Look behind the first stow, and ensure the universal
static line modified is free of cuts, frays, or burns, and has not been misrouted around the static
line stow bar. Release the first stow and let it pop back into place.

Chapter 9
Note. When the jumpmaster traces the universal static line modified towards them self, only the
index finger will be used. When tracing away, only the thumb may be used.
z Insert the index finger or thumb of the working hand from bottom to top behind the first strand of
universal static line modified, as close as possible to the first stow. Trace the first strand of
universal static line modified, ensure that it is free of all cuts, frays, or burns to the second stow.
z With the index finger and thumb of the working hand, pinch it off and pull one to two inches
towards the center of the pack tray, and conduct the same inspection. Place the index finger or
thumb of the working hand from bottom to top behind the second strand of universal static line
modified and trace it to ensure it is not cut, frayed, or burned.
z Continue to inspect the universal static line modified in the same manner to the main curved pin
cover. Ensure the last strand of universal static line modified is routed from the right outer
static line stow bar.
z With the index finger of the working hand, gently lift up on the main curved pin cover. Inspect the
main curved pin attaching loop to ensure that it is properly attached to both the universal static
line modified and the main curved pin.
z Visually inspect the main curved pin from its point of attachment to ensure it is not bent, cracked,
or corroded, and is properly routed from left to right through the main closing loop. Visually
inspect to ensure the main curved pin securing tie is present and made of only one turn of “Orange
ticket 3” thread, and that it is secured by a surgeons knot locking knot with the ends trimmed to
approximately one inch..
z Visually inspect the main closing loop to ensure it is not cut, frayed, or burned, and the main
curved pin is not puncturing it in any manner. Conduct a visual inspection of the grommet to
ensure it is not bent, cracked, or corroded.
z With the index finger and thumb of the working hand, gently lift up on the main curved pin
protector flap and conduct a visual inspection of the main closing loop, ensuring it is not cut,
frayed, or burned, and the grommet is not bent, cracked, or corroded. Stand up behind the jumper.
z With the index finger and thumb of the working hand, gently lift up on the main curved pin
protector flap and conduct a visual inspection of the main closing loop, ensuring it is not twisted,
cut, frayed, or burned, and the grommet is not bent, cracked, or corroded.
z Stand behind the jumper.
Notes. Broken securing ties: if a tie breaks any time after the original packer makes the tie, prior
to getting on the aircraft, it can be replaced by another qualified parachute rigger skill level 1 or
higher, after a routine inspection is conducted on the parachute. If the parachute passes the
routine inspection, the tie can be replaced and the parachute returned to service without being
repacked. Once the tie is made, a qualified parachute rigger inspector skill level 2 or higher
must inspect the tie. Both the individual replacing the tie and the inspector must sign the
DA Form 3912, Army Parachute Log Record. If the parachute does not pass the routine inspection,
it must be returned to the parachute pack facility for repack.
If a securing tie breaks on the aircraft and the main curved pin is still seated in the closing
loop, the parachute is still serviceable and can be jumped.
ADVANCED COMBAT HELMET (BACK)

9-31. The jumpmaster inspects the rear of the advanced combat helmet by taking the following actions:
z Places both hands, fingers and thumbs extended and joined, fingertips pointing skyward, palms
facing towards the jumper, on the left side of the advanced combat helmet. The left hand is the
control hand and the right hand is the working hand. With the working hand, traces across the rim
of the advanced combat helmet feeling for any sharp or protruding edges that may cut or damage
the jumper’s universal static line modified upon exiting the aircraft.

z Once both hands are parallel, places the thumbs on the rim of the advanced combat helmet and
gently tilts the jumper’s head forward. Conducts a visual inspection to ensure the oval pads are
covering the bolt ends, they are flush with the rim of the advanced combat helmet, and the rear
trapezoid pad is flush or protruding slightly past the rim of the advanced combat helmet, no more
than one-half inch.
z Places the right index finger on the rear right adjustable buckle. Ensures it is free of all cracked
components and is serviceable, the rear right adjustable strap is properly routed through it, and the
free running end is secured in the webbing retainer.
z Traces the rear right adjustable strap down, ensuring it is not twisted, cut, or frayed until contact
is made with the long portion chin strap. Leaves the right index finger in place.
z Places the left index finger on the rear left adjustable buckle and conducts the same inspection all
the way down to the chinstrap fastener. Leaves the left index finger in place.
z Conducts a visual inspection of the nape pad to ensure it is present, secure, serviceable, and has
not been reversed.
Notes. Ensure there is a minimum of seven suspension pads inside the advanced combat helmet,
one crown pad, two trapezoid pads and four oval pads that are covering the bolt ends.
All four oval pads and the front trapezoid pad must be flush with the rim of the advanced
combat helmet. The rear trapezoid pad must be flush with the rim of the advanced combat helmet
or may extend past the rim of the advanced combat helmet, no more than half an inch.
INSPECTING RISER ASSEMBLIES AND PACK TRAYS

9-32. The jumpmaster performs the inspection of the riser assemblies by taking the following actions:
z Reaches over the jumper’s shoulders and grasps a riser assembly in each hand, thumbs down,
knuckles pointing skyward, just above the canopy release assemblies. Since these are like items
of equipment, either riser assembly can be inspected first. For this example, begin the inspection
with the left riser assembly.
z Gives the left riser assembly a sharp tug to the rear. Opens the left hand to form a distinguishable
“L.” Applies upward pressure with the left thumb and traces the riser assembly rearward,
conducting a physical and visual inspection to ensure that an Army Parachute Log Record is
present, and that the riser assembly is not twisted, cut, or frayed to where it disappears into the
main pack tray. Leave the left hand in place
z With the right hand, conducts the same inspection on the right riser assembly. The jumpmaster
must ensure that only one riser assembly contains an Army Parachute Log Record.
9-33. An overall inspection of the pack tray is conducted to ensure the pack tray is free of grease, oil, dirt,
mud, or tears. The jumpmaster performs the inspection of the pack tray by taking the following actions:
z Places both hands, fingers and thumbs extended and joined palms facing towards the pack tray,
on the top left corner of the pack tray. The left hand is the control hand and the right
hand is the working hand.
z With the head and eyes six to eight inches away from the working hand, traces across the top pack
closing flap, down the right pack closing flap. The jumpmaster bends over to see what they are
doing and traces across the bottom pack closing flap.
z Turns the working hand over so the pinkie finger leads the way and traces up the left pack closing
flap until skin-to-skin contact is made with the control hand. Raises the control hand up out of the
way and traces where the control hand had been.
z The JM forms knife-edges with both hands, palms facing towards them self, and issues the
command, “ARCH YOUR BACK.”

Chapter 9
DIAGONAL AND HORIZONTAL BACK STRAPS

9-34. The jumpmaster inspects the diagonal or horizontal back straps by taking the following actions:
z Inserts both hands behind the diagonal back straps where the natural pocket is formed. Ensures
that thumbs rest just below the “X” formed by the diagonal back strap retainers. Looks at the
diagonal back straps to ensure they are properly routed over the appropriate shoulder, and the top
diagonal back strap has one more row of exposed stitching than the bottom. Looks at the diagonal
back strap retainers to ensure they are routed through the sizing channels on the diagonal back
straps, the diagonal back strap retainers are routed around the diagonal back strap keepers, and the
directional snap fasteners are secure.
z To further ensure the directional snap fasteners are secure, with both thumbs, The JM plucks the
tab portion of the diagonal back strap retainers upward from bottom to top. The JM looks at the
left hand and with that hand, traces down the diagonal back strap to ensure it is not twisted, cut,
or frayed to the back strap adjuster.
z Grasps the back strap adjuster with the left hand and looks at the right hand and the right diagonal
back strap. With the right hand traces down the diagonal back strap, ensuring it is not
twisted, cut, or frayed.
z Bypasses the back strap adjuster and picks up the inspection of the horizontal back strap. Traces
down, ensuring it is not twisted, cut, or frayed, and the free running end is secured in the webbing
retainer until it disappears into the right main lift web.
z Withdraws the right hand from under the horizontal back strap, and reinserts it, fingers and thumb
extended and joined, fingertips pointing skyward, palm facing towards them self. Then traces from
bottom to top behind the horizontal back strap where it reemerges from the right main lift web.
Issues the jumper the command, “BEND”.
z Places the left shoulder on the bottom pack closing flap and pushes up on the bottom of
the pack tray. Simultaneously, with the left hand, pulls down on the back strap adjuster. With head
and eyes approximately six to eight inches away, traces the horizontal back strap across the
small of the jumper’s back until the right pinkie finger makes contact with the main lift
web on the jumper’s left side.
z Inspects the horizontal back strap is to ensure it is not twisted, cut, or frayed, that the horizontal
back strap retainers are properly routed over the horizontal back strap, then under and back over
the horizontal back strap keepers, and secured with directional snap fasteners. Nothing is
misrouted behind the horizontal back strap.
z Withdraws the right hand from behind the horizontal back strap, and reinserts it from top to
bottom behind the horizontal back strap and behind the waistband adjuster panel, where
it re-emerges from the left main lift web. Traces up until making skin-to-skin contact with the
left hand, ensuring that it is not twisted, cut, frayed, the free running end is secured in the
webbing retainer, and nothing has been misrouted behind it. Removes the right hand and gets left
hip to head with the jumper.
SADDLE
9-35. The jumpmaster inspects the saddle by taking the following actions:
z Places the fingertips of the right hand, fingers and thumb extended and joined, palm facing towards
the jumper, on the lower portion of the left main lift web adjuster. Traces down the lower portion
of the main lift web, transitioning to the saddle to ensure it is not twisted, cut, frayed, or been
inverted, and neither leg strap has been misrouted around the saddle. Continues to trace until
making contact with the lower portion of the right main lift web adjuster.
z Reaches back and gets a handful of air and issue the jumper the good seal of approval by tapping
the jumper on the buttocks while issuing the command, “RECOVER”.
Note. Once the jumpmaster has completed the inspection, they will place the jumper into jump
configuration.

9-36. After the JM has completed their JMPI, they will place the jumper into jump configuration and take
the following actions:
z The JM traces the universal static line modified from the universal static line snap hook
to ensure that the universal static line modified is routed over the shoulder corresponding
with the door the jumper is to exit.
z Once behind the jumper, the JM removes all slack from the universal static line modified and
stows it in the static line slack retainer band.
z The JM reinserts the main curved pin protector flap into the tuck flap, ensuring that the main
curved pin cover is the only item of equipment behind it.
z The JM places either hand on the rip cord assembly, applies steady inward pressure, and reinserts
the top and bottom tuck tabs, taking care to ensure that both side tuck tabs remain secure.
z If the side tuck tabs become unsecure the JM notifies a rigger.
9-37. If the jumper requires the T-11R inserts, ensure that the T-11 reserve parachute is marked on the
carrying handle with quarter-inch yellow pressure-sensitive tape. (See figure 9-7.) The jumpmaster:
z Places a T-11R insert in the top tuck pocket.
z Ensures that the top edge of the T-11R insert is flush with the binding tape on the tuck pocket and
the yellow tab is visible. (See figure 9-8 on page 9-20.)
z Places a T-11R insert in the bottom tuck pocket.
z Ensures that the bottom of the T-11R insert is flush with the binding tape on the tuck pocket and
the yellow tab is visible. (See figure 9-9 on page 9-20.)
z Verifies that the side tuck tabs have not been removed from their tuck pockets. If the side tuck
tabs become unsecure, immediately notify a rigger.

Chapter 9
Figure 9-8. T-11R insert is flush with the binding tape
Figure 9-9. T-11R bottom insert is flush with the binding tape
Notes. At a minimum, the PJM and AJM will have the T-11R inserts. If the NUMBER ONE
JUMPER is assisting in pushing a door bundle, that jumper is required to have the T-11R inserts.
While conducting rotary-winged operations it is recommended that jumpers

exposed to winds that cross the front of the reserve parachute have the T-11R inserts emplaced.

rucksack or ALICE pack to rotate between the jumpmaster’s body and the jumper’s body.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION AND HANG OF COMBAT EQUIPMENT

9-45. The JM is responsible for inspecting each jumper and item of equipment. Long flights, heavy loads,
extreme heat, tactical updates, and special items of equipment (AT4JP, SMJP, and other items) may warrant
delaying the attachment of equipment until a predesignated time later in the mission timeline. Under such
conditions, the Airborne commander may decide to conduct the JMPI without equipment. The commander
must consider individual and unit proficiency when conducting the command risk assessment.
9-46. There are two methods to attach equipment after JMPI is complete: technical inspection (T.I.) and hang
of combat equipment, and late hang and JMPI of combat equipment. When the commander has decided to
“T.I. AND HANG” after JMPI has been conducted, the T.I. is conducted on the MOLLE rucksack, ALICE
pack, MAWC (rigged for a tandem load), the hook-pile tape lowering line (MAWC), and leg strap assemblies.
MOLLE RUCKSACK
9-47. First, conduct an overall inspection of the equipment to ensure it is free of loose or excess webbing,
and the adjustable D-ring attaching straps and HPTLL is hanging free. Stand in front of the MOLLE with the
adjustable shoulder straps facing away and the base of the MOLLE skyward.
9-48. Begin the inspection of the MOLLE with its point of attachment, the adjustable D-ring attaching straps.
These are like items of equipment so either can be inspected first. However, for the purpose of this talk
though, begin with the right adjustable D-ring attaching strap. With both hands secure the snap hooks of the
adjustable D-ring attaching straps in each hand, the right snap hook in the left hand, and the left snap hook
in the right hand. Place the index fingers on the opening gate of the snap hooks. Focus attention to the left
hand and the right adjustable D-ring attaching strap. Conduct a visual inspection to ensure that the snap hook
is not bent, cracked, or corroded and that the opening gate is facing away. With the left index finger, function
the opening gate one time, ensuring it has spring tension and has not been reversed. With the left thumb, flip
the excess webbing of the adjustable D-ring attaching strap out of the way and place the left index finger on
the black intermittent stitching just below the snap hook. Trace the adjustable D-ring attaching strap, ensuring
that it is not cut or frayed until making contact with the triangle link. Bypass the triangle link and pick up the
inspection of the attaching loops, and ensure that the white attaching loop is routed from bottom to top
through the triangle link, the green attaching loop is routed from bottom to top through the white attaching
loop, the red attaching loop is routed from bottom to top through the green attaching loop, and routed from
bottom to top through the grommet in the female portion leg strap release assembly.
9-49. Continue tracing until the index finger of the left hand rests on the single box “X” stitch on the release
handle cross strap. Look at the release handle cable where it emerges from the release handle cross strap.
Ensure the release handle cable is properly routed through the red attaching loop and secured by the cable
loop retainer. Leave the left index finger in place and with the right hand; conduct the same inspection on the
left adjustable D-ring attaching strap until the right index finger rests on the single box “X” stitch on the
release handle cross strap.
9-50. With the right index finger and thumb (index finger on top, thumb on the bottom) lift up gently on the
release handle. Ensure the release handle and release handle cable is properly routed between the two plies
of the release handle cross strap, and the release handle is secured by the hook-pile tabs. Now form a hook
with the right index finger, insert it from outside to inside and gently lift up on the release handle lanyard to
ensure it is not twisted, cut, frayed, or misrouted around the equipment retainer strap or the release handle
cross strap. Place the right index finger back on the single box “X” stitch on the release handle cross strap.
Now grasp the sides of the MOLLE and lay it down flat on the frame.
9-51. Place both index fingers back on the corresponding box “X” stitch on either side of the release handle
cross strap. Simultaneously, with both index fingers trace the equipment retainer straps down the outside of
the pouch of the MOLLE. Continue to trace until making contact with the box “X” stitches on either side of
the adjustable cross strap. Leave the left index finger in place and with the index finger and thumb of the

Chapter 9
right hand grasp the free running end of the adjustable cross strap and give it a tug to the right, ensuring that
all the slack has been removed from the adjustable cross strap. Place the right index finger back on the single
box “X” stitch and continue to trace the equipment retainer straps down until all fingers fall off.
9-52. Now grasp the sides of the MOLLE and rotate it up so that the top of the MOLLE is facing skyward.
Look at the equipment retainer straps to ensure they are routed through the slots at the top corners of the
MOLLE frame and have not been twisted, cut, or frayed. Continue to rotate the MOLLE until the pack body
is facing down and the frame is facing skyward.
9-53. Now place the index fingers of both hands inside the adjustable shoulder carrying straps on top of the
equipment retainer straps where they reemerge from slots of the MOLLE frame. Ensure they are routed from
outside to inside, under the adjustable shoulder carrying straps. Begin tracing down the equipment retainer
straps to ensure the equipment retainer straps are routed over the comfort pad and form an “X” configuration
on the rear of the MOLLE, and the straps are not twisted, cut, or frayed. Bypass the girth hitch of the HPTLL
and continue your inspection until all fingers rest on the friction adaptors and behind the two-to-three finger
quick releases of the equipment retainer straps. Simultaneously, inspect the two-to-three finger quick release
by placing the index and middle finger of each hand, palm on the outside of the quick releases.
9-54. Conduct a visual inspection of the friction adapters to ensure they are routed through the oval cutouts
at the base of the MOLLE frame. Visually inspect the free running ends of the equipment retainer straps to
ensure they are S-folded or accordion folded, never rolled, and secured with either one turn of masking tape
or two turns of retainer bands (one or the other, never both) and not secured to the quick releases. With the
index finger of each hand, lightly tap the free running ends of the equipment retainer straps to ensure they
are secure.
9-55. With the thumb and index fingers of each hand, form an “O” around the base of the adjustable shoulder
carrying straps. Whenever possible, the free running ends should be on top of both hands. Simultaneously,
pull out to ensure they are properly secured to the MOLLE frame. Visually inspect the free running ends of

9-117. Continue the inspection of the equipment retainer straps as they route through the envelope cushion.
Ensure the equipment retainer straps form an “X” configuration on the rear of the ALICE pack and are not
twisted, cut, or frayed. Bypass the girth hitch of the HPTLL and continue the inspection until all fingers rest
on the friction adaptors and behind the two-to three-finger quick releases in the equipment retainer straps.
Simultaneously, inspect the two-to-three finger quick releases by placing the index and middle finger of each
hand, palms on the outside of the quick releases. Visually inspect the free running ends of the equipment
retainer straps to ensure they are S-folded or accordion folded, never rolled, and secured with either one turn
of masking tape or two turns of retainer bands (one or the other, never both) and not secured to the quick
releases. With the index finger of each hand, lightly tap them to ensure they are secure.
9-118. With the thumb and index fingers of each hand form an “O” around the base of the adjustable
shoulder carrying straps, ensure the free running ends are on top of both hands. Simultaneously pull out to
ensure they are properly secured to the ALICE pack frame. Visually inspect the free running ends of the
adjustable shoulder carrying straps to ensure they are S-folded or accordion folded, never rolled, and secured
with either one turn of masking tape or two turns of retainer bands (one or the other, never both). With the
index fingers of each hand, lightly tap the free running ends of the adjustable shoulder carrying straps to
ensure they are secure.
9-119. With the index finger of the right hand, place it just to the right of the girth hitch (as displayed to the
jumpmaster) of the hook-pile tape lowering line. Visually inspect to ensure the girth hitch is properly routed
north to south, south to north, but never east to west. With the right index finger, trace the HPTLL, ensuring
that the hook-pile tape lowering line is properly routed over the left adjustable shoulder carrying strap until
making contact with the first set of hook-pile tabs. Visually inspect to ensure the hook-pile tabs are present
and secured, and there are no S-folds protruding from the end of the retainer flap.
9-120. Continue to inspect down the retainer flap, ensuring that it is secured to the ALICE pack frame by
two girth hitched retainer bands on either end of the retainer flap; one above and one below the horizontal
frame support.
9-121. Continue to trace down until making contact with the second set of hook-pile tabs. Once again
ensure they are present and secured, and there are no S-folds protruding from the end of the retainer
flap. Continue to trace the HPTLL until the index finger protrudes between the attachment strap and the
main body of the MAWC.
9-122. With the left hand, reach over the right forearm and grasp the trail edge of the MAWC and pull it
forward. Inspect to ensure the HPTLL has been routed from front to rear through the attachment strap, and
the attachment strap only. Remove the right index finger and place it on the HPTLL where it reemerges on
the back of the MWAC. Trace the hook-pile tape lowering line until reaching the ejector snap. With the right
hand, form a fist around the ejector snap.
9-123. With the right thumb, press in on the activating lever to ensure that it is properly seated over the ball
detent, free of all foreign matter that will keep it from seating completely. Tug on the ejector snap to ensure
it is properly secured. Turn the ejector snap one-quarter turn out to ensure the small tooth is present. Visually
9-124. Move back to the front of the jumper and issue the command of “RECOVER.”
ADJUSTABLE LEG STRAPS

9-125. After the jumper is fully rigged, the JM routes the male portion leg strap release assemblies around
the jumper’s appropriate leg and attaches it to the female portion leg strap release assembly.
9-126. If the jumper is exiting from the left paratroop door, the right adjustable leg strap will be routed
around the right leg, and the left adjustable leg strap is placed around the MAWC on the jumper’s left side.
9-127. If the jumper is exiting from the right paratroop door, the left adjustable leg strap will routed around
the jumper’s left leg and MAWC, and the right adjustable leg strap will not be used.

JMPI SEQUENCE FOR AIRPAC

Note. This JMPI sequence is for the front-mounted AIRPAC when jumped with a MAWC.
9-128. The JM inspects the AIRPAC as follows:

z Place the left hand on the snap hook for the right D-ring attaching strap and the right hand on the
snap hook for the left D-ring attaching strap. Leave the right hand in place and focus attention on
the left hand and the right D-ring attaching strap.
z With the index finger of the left hand, finger the opening gate to ensure it has spring tension and
is properly attached to the right D-ring to the outside of the connector snap. Place the index and
middle finger of the left hand from outside to inside behind the nylon portion of the D-ring
attaching strap and trace down until the middle finger makes contact with the circular ring,
ensuring the strap is not twisted, cut, or frayed.
z Bypass the circular ring and place the index finger on the red attaching loop. Visually inspect the
circular release ring to ensure it has been routed through the circular ring and folded back against
the nylon portion of the D-ring attaching strap. Ensure the red attaching loop has been routed
bottom to top through the circular release ring and then through the grommet on the female portion
of the leg strap release assembly. With the thumb and index finger, peel back on either the top or
bottom corner of the female portion of the leg strap release assembly to further ensure the red
attaching loop has been properly routed.
z Place the left index finger on the single “X” boxed stitch just below the circular ring. Conduct a
visual inspection of the release handle cable to ensure it is properly routed under both plies of the
release handle cross strap and through the red attaching loop. Conduct the same inspection on the
left D-ring attaching strap.
z Leave the left index finger in place, and with the right hand gently lift up on the release handle to
ensure it has been properly routed under both plies of the release handle cross strap and has been
secured by the hook-pile tabs.
z Form a knife-edge with both hands, palms facing each other, and place them on the outer edge of
the equipment retainer straps. Simultaneously trace down the equipment retainer straps until
contact is made with the friction adapters. Leaving both hands in place, look at the friction
adapters, ensuring the equipment retainer straps have been properly routed through them and the
free running ends are secured by means of the webbing retainers.
z With either hand, carefully open the circular closing flap and hold it up and out of the way. This
hand is now the control hand. Place the index finger of the working hand on the single “X” boxed
stitch on the 6 o’clock set of equipment retainer straps. Visually inspect both friction adapters to
ensure the free running ends of the equipment retainer straps are properly routed through them and
are secured by means of the webbing retainers.
z Conduct the same inspection for the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock set of friction adapters. Place the
index finger of the working hand on the eyelet of the cotter pin.
z Ensure the white grommet securing loop has been routed through all three grommets, is not cut or
frayed, and has been secured by the cotter pin.
z Close the circular closing flap, lift the AIRPAC to the jumper and issue the command, HOLD.
z With the left hand, grasp the hook-pile tape lowering line, palm facing the JM. Pull up if the short
bridal is attached horizontally, or to the jumper’s left if it is attached vertically.
z Insert the index finger and middle finger of the right hand, from the jumper’s left to right, behind
the locking D-ring. Ensure that it is properly attached to the triangle link and is locked into place.
z Trace up the short bridal, ensuring it is not twisted, cut, or frayed, until contact is made with the
girth hitch of the hook-pile-tape lowering line.
z Place the right index finger on the girth hitch, ensuring the cotton buffer is present.
z Place the index finger and middle finger of the right hand from the jumper’s left, to just behind
the short bridal on the opposite side of the girth hitch. Trace the short bridal until contact is made

Chapter 9
with the triangle link, ensuring it is not twisted, cut, or frayed, paying special attention to the point
of attachment at the triangle link.
z Leave the left hand in place and put the index finger of the right hand on the hook-pile tape
lowering line where it emerges from the lowering line stow pocket. Ensure no excess of the hook-
pile tape lowering line is protruding from the retainer flap. Trace the hook-pile tape lowering line
until the index finger disappears behind the nylon chaff portion of the MAWC, ensuring it is not
cut, frayed, or burned.
z Leave the right index finger in place and with the left hand grasp the trail edge of the MAWC and
pull it toward the JM. Remove the right index finger and rotate it around to the backside of the
MAWC and continue the inspection of the hook-pile tape lowering line where it emerges from the
nylon chaffing.
z Trace the hook-pile tape lowering line to its point of attachment.
z With the thumb of the right hand, push in on the activating lever of the ejector snap to ensure it is
properly seated over the ball detent. Ensure it is free of any foreign matter, and the opening gate
is facing the jumper’s body.
z With the thumb and index finger of the right hand, pinch off the yellow safety lanyard and trace it
until fingers fall off the end, ensuring it is not wired, tied, or taped.
z Move to the front of the jumper and issue the command, SQUAT.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION FOR SIDE-MOUNT AIRPAC

9-129. The side-mount container is technically inspected and attached at the 20-minute time warning, and
includes the following tasks:
Note. Five to six finger quick releases will depend on the item of equipment inside the side-mount
AIRPAC.
z Ensure all visible container retaining straps are properly secured to their appropriate friction
adapter. (All visible container retaining straps have a five-to-six finger quick release.)
z Ensure the free running ends of the container retaining straps are S-folded and secured to the
quick- release loop by two turns of a retainer band.
z Ensure the slide fastener is secure.
z Ensure there is no excess in the fabric flap.
z Ensure packing material is present, if required, for the particular weapon system.

CAUTION
All jumpmasters performing duties on a C-130 aircraft must be able to
conduct a paratroop door check while maintaining three points of contact
with the airframe. This check requires the jumpmaster to attain an 80-
inch reach. Jumpmasters must be evaluated by their unit prior to
performing any duties on this airframe.

INITIAL OUTSIDE SAFETY CHECK

10-28. The JM must make outside air safety checks to ensure there are no unsafe conditions outside the
aircraft, including trail aircraft in the formation that are below drop altitude or other low-flying aircraft. From
the same stable door position, the JM leans forward to the elbow locked position while keeping both heels
flat on the floor of the cargo compartment and visually conducts a down and behind air-safety check.
Note. JMs are encouraged to conduct checks in all cardinal directions to maintain the best
situational awareness, but at a minimum will check below and behind the aircraft.
10-29. The JM then comes to the door in a relaxed position, continues observing outside the aircraft spotting
for reference points en route to the DZ. In the absence of reference points and checkpoints, they use additional
time advisories from the air crew, which was identified during the air mission briefing. The JM relays time
warnings to the jumpers by leaning back inside the aircraft, keeping his or her foot centered on the platform,
facing the jumpers, and calls off the one-minute and 30-second time warning, As well as giving the proper
arm-and-hand signal for each time warning.
10-30. Once the doors are open and the JMs are conducting their door checks, safeties will have all the
jumpers close in tight, reducing the interval between the No. 1 jumper and the paratroop door. Jumpers will
maintain the proper interval.
10-31. The JM will lock out their elbows to properly conduct outside air safety checks. The safety will also
lock their elbows while checking for towed jumpers after each pass.
10-32. The loadmaster should relay time warnings to the JM or safety by using hand signals. The exact
hand signals must be coordinated between the JM and loadmaster during the aircrew brief.
z One-minute time warning—with the elbow locked out, the index finger extended vertically.
z 30-second time warning—with the elbow locked out, the index finger and thumb held
closely together.
ONE-MINUTE WARNING
10-33. Once the JM spots their one-minute reference point and is about one minute from the green light or
the safety passes along the loadmaster time warning to the JM:
z The JM relays the one-minute warning to the jumpers by leaning back, keeping their foot centered
on the platform, facing the jumpers, and extending the index finger of their lead hand, and
announces, “ONE MINUTE.”
z The jumpers relay the time warning by looking over their shoulder closest to the skin of the aircraft
and shouting, “ONE MINUTE.”
z The JM continues observing outside for the 30-second reference point, or until the 30-second time
warning is relayed from the loadmaster.
THIRTY-SECOND TIME WARNING AND FINAL CLEAR TO THE REAR

10-34. Once the JM spots the 30-second reference point and is about 30 seconds from the green light, or
the safety passes along the loadmaster time warning to the JM:
z The JM relays the “THIRTY SECONDS” warning to the jumpers by leaning back, keeping their
foot centered on the platform, facing the jumpers, and extending the index finger of their lead hand
and announces, “THIRTY SECONDS.”
z The jumpers relay the time warning by looking over their shoulder closest to the skin of the aircraft
and shouting, “THIRTY SECONDS.”
10-35. After the JM has called off the 30-second reference point, they immediately conduct their final clear
to the rear outside safety check. The JM leans forward to the elbow locked position while keeping both heels
flat on the floor of the cargo compartment and visually conducts a down and behind air-safety check.

Chapter 10
Note. For a CARP VIRS DZ, the JM is not responsible for positively identifying the DZ, code
letter, or color of smoke. The U.S. Air Force and other service aircraft personnel are responsible
for positively identifying the DZ, code letter, or color of smoke.
10-36. If the JM observes any unsafe conditions outside the aircraft, they notify the loadmaster by a
preplanned arm-and-hand signal (for example, a cutting motion across the throat) that a NO DROP situation
exists for this pass.
CAUTION
The JM or safety can call a NO DROP anytime he or she determines
something is wrong or unsafe.
10-37. Once the JM makes their final clear to the rear air safety check:
z The JM removes the trail foot from the jump platform and plants the foot inside the cargo
compartment. The JM will then release the paratroop door with the lead hand.
z Rotates into the aircraft facing the jumpers.
z The PJM and AJM will make eye-to-eye contact and give each other a thumbs up signal indicating
there are no unsafe conditions outside the aircraft and they are ready to exit personnel. The JM
will stay in place and issue the eighth jump command of “STAND BY.”
Note. If the first suspended object is an A-series container or door bundle, see door bundle
procedures in this chapter.
EIGHTH JUMP COMMAND

10-38. Once the JMs give the thumbs up signal to each other, they will immediately issue the eighth jump
command of “STAND BY.” (See figure 10-10.) Starting at the shoulders with the elbows bent, the JM
extends and joins their index and middle fingers, curling the remaining fingers and thumb of each hand
toward the palm. As they give the command “STAND BY,” they extend their arms up and out to their sides,
ending at a 45-degree angle.
10-39. The JM then takes a step forward with the inboard foot and rotates their body so that both JMs are
facing the skin of the aircraft, with the body bisecting the lead edge of the paratroop door. JMs must ensure
they are not impeding either anchor line cable. Each JM will then reach out with the trail hand and secure a
proper bight in their USLM. The safety will return control of the JMs USLM to the JM by forming it into a
small bight, then assume a position bisecting the trail edge of the paratroop door ensuring the flow of jumpers
are not impeded.
10-40. Whenever possible the JM should protect their rip cord handle with the nonstatic line hand. The
AJM must ensure they have eyes on the PJM and No. 1 jumper by looking over or under either shoulder. The
safety receives the first jumper’s USLM with their lead hand and secures it with their trail hand by pinning
it against the intermediate anchor line support bracket and prepares to control the next jumper’s USLM with
the lead hand.

WARNING
The last five feet are the most crucial for the towed parachutist. An
oscillating parachutist usually strikes the aircraft head first. If the
parachutist is oscillating violently, stop the retrieval momentarily
to allow stabilization, and then continue with retrieval. Repeat
these steps as required.

the jumper.

WARNING
At no time during Airborne operations should the cargo ramp door
be open when the troop doors are open. If this situation exists, all
jumpers, including JMs and safety personnel must be seated and
strapped in, guarding the rip cord handle of their reserve
parachutes. If Army personnel must work around the open troop
doors, caution must be taken to prevent personnel from being
swept out of the aircraft. Inadvertent reserve activation with troop
doors and the cargo door open can cause serious injury or death.

The anchor line cable stop is in line with the trail edge of the jump door.
This is different from the C-130, in which the anchor line cable runs
further to the aft of the aircraft. The placement of the anchor line cable
stop decreases the amount of workspace for the jumpmaster, safety,
and jumper.

CAUTION
All jumpmasters performing duties on a C-27J Spartan aircraft must be
able to conduct a paratroop door check while maintaining three points
of contact with the airframe. This check requires the jumpmaster to
attain an 80-inch reach. Jumpmasters must be evaluated by their unit
prior to performing any duties on this airframe.

CAUTION
The jumpmaster must be aware that without a wind deflector, the T-11R
rip cord handle will be exposed to higher winds than with other fixed-
wing aircraft and could cause inadvertent reserve parachute
deployment. Minimize unnecessarily exposure of the reserve parachute
to relative wind for extended lengths of time.

10-132. During descent, the jumper can use the steering handles located on the back side of the rear risers to
maneuver the parachute in the desired direction of travel to maneuver the canopy and avoid obstacles and
other jumpers in the air. Jumpers scheduled to wear the AEBP should rehearse actions under canopy during
SAT. After exiting the aircraft, complete the remaining four points of performance:
z Check canopy and gain canopy control.
z Keep a sharp lookout at all times and constantly compare rates of descent.
z Prepare to land.
z Land. Upon landing, the jumper doffs the AEBP system by releasing the three quick-ejector snaps
(chest and two leg straps).
10-133. Jumpers must always attempt to avoid mid-air contact by slipping or turning away from fellow
jumpers. If unable to avoid a collision, the higher jumper should use the spread-eagle method to bounce off
the lower jumper’s canopy or suspension lines. If an AEBP-equipped jumper enters another jumper’s
suspension lines, the AEBP-equipped jumper immediately assumes the position of attention in hope that their
exit will be the same location without becoming entangled. If not, the AEBP-equipped jumper should follow
the emergency procedures for entanglement.
10-134. The AEBP is a steerable canopy with a forward velocity. The AEBP has no reserve canopy. If
jumpers become entangled, the actions required to correct the problem depend upon the condition of their
main canopies. If one jumper has a completely inflated canopy, they will hold their positions until they reach
the ground. If both parachutes lose lift capabilities, the jumper with a reserve will use the pull drop method
to activate their reserve parachute. Neither jumper should attempt to climb to the other jumper. Additionally,
the higher jumper should avoid the lower jumper when landing. Parachutists scheduled to wear the AEBP
should rehearse collision and entanglement procedures during SAT prejump training.
10-135. If the pilot chute deploys from the pack tray, the JM or safety will immediately attempt to contain
the pilot chute. If contained, the AEBP-equipped jumper should remove the parachute and place it inside its
kitbag. Jump operations will be on hold until the affected nonjumping JM or safety don a replacement
parachute or safety harness. If a replacement parachute or safety harness is not available, the affected
personnel should take a seat near the front of the aircraft and the Airborne operation should only be conducted
from the door with a fully equipped JM team. If the AEBP-equipped jumper is aft of the wheel well, and the
jump doors (or ramp) are open and the pilot chute is in or going out the door (or ramp), the jumper should
immediately exit the aircraft. Airborne operations will cease if the nonjumping JM or safety conducts an
unplanned exit. Jumpers scheduled to wear the AEBP should rehearse canopy activation inside the aircraft
during SAT or at mock door rehearsal.
BA-18 BACK AUTOMATIC PARACHUTE

10-136. The BA-18 U.S. Air Force emergency back automatic parachute is used by nonjumping jumpmasters
and safety personnel onboard U.S. Air Force high performance aircraft only. This parachute has a repack
cycle of 180 days and must pass a routine inspection at the home unit every 30 days. Once the parachute is
activated, it must be destroyed.
10-137. The BA-18 is equipped with either an FXC Model 7000 or FXC Model 11000 automatic release
system (ARS). The owning U.S. Air Force unit’s life support department sets the time-delay release (from
one to 13 seconds) and then attaches a small white tag on the back of the BA-18 to indicate what delay time
has been set (three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, and so on). To employ the BA-18, the jumper either
pulls the red arming cable knob to activate the time-delay feature, or overrides the ARS by pulling the T-
shaped blast handle. Personnel scheduled to wear the BA-18 must inspect it before each use. If they note any
discrepancies during the inspection, they must not use the parachute. FXC Models 7000 and 11000 cannot
be set on a timer. The U.S. Air Force’s automatic release is a time-delay release.

Chapter 10
INSPECTION CRITERIA
10-138. The inspection procedures are simple, and their sequence is not important. However, the parachute
must be inspected before each donning.
z Check the canopy release assemblies in the same manner as on the T-11 ATPS main parachutes.
z Ensure that no straps (chest, leg, and horizontal back strap) are cut or frayed.
z Ensure all three ejector snaps are serviceable.
z Between the parachute harness assembly and the pack tray, a pad is held with four pull-the-dot
fasteners (one at each corner). Open the pull-the-dot fasteners, expose the long zipper that is
behind the pad, and unzip the zipper. Ensure that the locking pins are not bent and are routed
through the white nylon cord loops, and that the cable is free of rust or other corrosion. Resecure
the zipper and the pad once the inspection has been completed.
z Inspect the risers and ensure they are not cut or frayed and are secured to the canopy
release assemblies.
z Make an overall inspection on the outside of the pack tray to ensure that the pack tray is free of
rips, tears, oil, grease, dirt, or water, and that no canopy or suspension lines protrude from the
pack tray.
z Open the slide fastener on the back of the pack tray. Ensure that the spring has both hooks (one at
each end) routed through the white nylon cord loops; then secure the slide fastener.
z Ensure the rip cord is properly stowed and free of rust or other corrosion.
z Ensure the red time delay arming cable knob is properly stowed.
z If the parachute is equipped with a personnel lowering device, inspect it to ensure that the
associated hardware is secure inside the stow pocket. Inspect the lowering line from where it exits
the stow pocket to the point where it disappears into the pack tray.
PLANNED AND UNPLANNED EXITS

10-139. Once the last jumper has exited the aircraft, pull the red automatic release arming knob to arm the
ARS, and exit the aircraft. After reaching an altitude of 14,000 feet, the canopy will open. However, at any
time during descent, the rip cord can be activated and override the ARS.
10-140. If the parachute is equipped with an ARS set for a delay of four seconds or more, pull the automatic
release arming knob and exit the aircraft. If the parachute is equipped with an ARS set for less than four
seconds, exit the aircraft, assume the correct body position, and pull the automatic release arming knob.
10-141. To assume the correct body position, place the chin on the chest, elbows into the sides, feet and
knees together, and visually locate and place the hand(s) on the rip cord. Allow sufficient time (one second,
minimum) to clear the aircraft, then pull the rip cord.
Note. When bailing out of an aircraft at extremely low levels, the most important factor is to pull
the rip cord immediately upon clearing the aircraft, regardless of body position.
PROPER METHOD TO PULL THE RIP CORD

10-142. Personnel must do the following: the automatic release may be overridden by pulling the rip cord.
Grasp the T-handle with the right hand and guide or assist it with the left hand. Pull the rip cord, hard and
fast, down toward the feet and away from the body. Pull it to arm’s length and then immediately bring the
arms back close to the body. Ensure the rip cord clears the housing.
10-143. After exiting the aircraft, complete the normal remaining four points of performance—check canopy
and gain canopy control, keep a sharp lookout during the entire descent, prepare to land, and land. (See
chapter 3.) To avoid obstacles and other jumpers in the air, or maneuver the canopy, pull a vigorous two-riser
slip in the desired direction of travel. To execute a two-riser slip with this canopy, reach up high onto the

IMPROVED OUTER TACTICAL VEST

12-29. The improved outer tactical vest (IOTV) (NSN 8470-01-551-7648 Large) has a side opening that
increases soft ballistic coverage and adjusts for better comfort. It also has a quick-release handle for Soldiers
to instantly remove the vest in emergency situations.
12-30. Body armor is bulky, heavy, and can limit the jumper’s flexibility and mobility. Jumpmasters must
supervise their jumpers when donning parachutes to ensure that IOTV is worn properly, reducing further
strain and fatigue. Jumpers may need to adjust their parachute harnesses to a size larger than they commonly
wear to accommodate for the size of the body armor.
Note. All IOTV attachments must be removed prior to donning (throat and groin protector, deltoid
protectors, upper arm protectors). These components must be placed inside of the ALICE pack or
MOLLE. (See figure 12-21.)
CAUTION
Airborne commanders must assess risk due to a jumper’s inability to
have freedom of maneuver and increased risk of injury during PLF, or
when conducting emergency procedures and landings.
12-31. The IOTV can be jumped under the parachute harness of the T-11 with the front and back armor
plates installed in the vest. The plates must be properly secured in the carrier pockets to ensure they do not
shift and injure the jumper at the chin or back of the head.
Figure 12-21. IOTV worn under T-11 parachute harness

12-32. Some jumpers may require a waistband extension when jumping with the IOTV. This should be
considered when planning for required air items. To properly secure the waistband extension:
z Route the waistband through the metal adjuster on the waistband extension.
z Route the free running end of the waistband extension through the metal adjuster on the waistband
adjuster panel.
z Incorporate a two or three finger quick release as normal only into the waistband, not the waistband
extension.
z Take the free running end of the waistband extension, ensuring it is only routed once through both
metal bars, and back through the first metal bar forming a non-slip hitch. Jumper will excess hand
under hand back against the waistband adjuster panel.

Chapter 12
z Finally, use a retainer band to secure the rolled excess along with the waistband adjuster panel.
(See figure 12-22.)
Figure 12-22. Waistband extension
JMPI SEQUENCE FOR THE WAISTBAND EXTENSION

12-33. The jumper removes their left hand from behind the reserve and inserts their left index finger and
middle finger from top to bottom into the quick release formed by the waistband, ensuring it is no more than
three fingers and no less than two fingers tight, and it is not a false quick release. With their left index finger
and thumb, pinch off the free running end of the waistband where it emerges from the metal adjuster. Trace
the free running end of the waistband until the fingers fall off the end to ensure the waistband is not cut, torn,
or frayed, and is easily accessible to the jumper. Continue to trace the waistband extension until making
contact with the metal adjuster to make certain the waistband extension is not twisted, cut, or frayed, and is
not misrouted.
12-34. The jumpmaster ensures the waistband extension is threaded back through both sides of the metal
adjuster, ensuring a positive locking action. The JM also makes sure that any excess webbing is secured with
a retainer band. The jumpmaster uses their left hand to grasp the carrying handle of the reserve with their
palm facing the reserve, and focuses their attention on their right hand and the waistband adjuster panel. With
their right hand, the jumpmaster traces the waistband adjuster panel back to where it is sewn into the pack
tray to ensure that it is not twisted, cut, or frayed. While tracing the waistband adjuster panel, the JM makes
certain that the waistband is not misrouted behind the horizontal back strap and that it is properly secured to
the pack tray by a single X box stitch with at least 50 percent of the stitching present. The jumpmaster returns
to the normal JMPI sequence.
TACTICAL ASSAULT PANEL

12-35. The tactical assault panel (TAP) (NSN 8465-01-580-0689) has been fielded to replace the current
MOLLE fighting load carrier. Jumpmasters ensure the TAP system does not interfere with the jumper
reacting to any type of emergency. There are two basic rules. First, the reserve parachute rests parallel with
the jumper’s torso. Second, when the TAP system is worn, the items of equipment on the side of the TAP
system are not resting in front of the horizontal back strap. To properly wear the TAP for Airborne operations
the jumper must:
z Attach the load carrying harness portion of the TAP to the ammunition pouch portion.
z Don the TAP system ensuring there are no twists in the harnesses webbing and the adjusting
buckles are not cracked or broken, then secure them together.
Note. Any item of equipment or pouch attached to the front of the TAP system that will interfere
with the reserve parachute lying parallel to the jumper’s body must be removed.
z Remove enough slack from the horizontal back straps of the TAP system so the TAP rests either
high on the jumper’s chest or low enough so it does not interfere with the reserve parachute resting
flat against the jumper’s body.
z Secure the free running ends inside their appropriate webbing retainers.

z Secure the sternum strap in front of the quick releases to hold the shoulder carrying straps in place.
(See Figure 12-35.)
Figure 12-35. Sternum strap secured on MAP

z Readjust the HSPR, if necessary, so the release handle cross strap is directly above the bottom of
the convenience pouch. Route the compression straps of the convenience pouch over the release
handle cross strap, but under the release handle cable and not through the release handle lanyard.
(See figure 12-36.) Then secure the buckles of the compression straps. This ensures that the HSPR
will not shift along the surface of the MAP.
Figure 12-36. Routing of compression straps over release handle cross strap
z Cut two pieces of quarter-inch cotton webbing that are approximately 12 inches long. Girth hitch
the quarter-inch cotton webbing to the horizontal nylon equipment hangers on the bottom of the
MAP. Use the ones that are closer to the waist strap, not the ones closer to the convenience pouch.
Tie the lengths of quarter-inch cotton webbing in a single or double loop bow knot around the
HSPR just below the single “X” box stitch. (See figure 12-37.)
Figure 12-37. Securing HSPR with quarter-inch cotton webbing to MAP

Chapter 12
z Route the male portion leg strap release assemblies from the point where they are sewn to the
equipment retainer straps by the most direct route along the side of the MAP and attach them to
the female portion leg strap release assemblies. Remove the slack and S-fold or roll the excess
webbing and secure it in the webbing retainer. The MAP is attached to the jumper in the same
manner as the ALICE pack and the MOLLE.
MEDIUM MOLLE RUCKSACK (M-MOLLE)
12-60. The M-MOLLE (NSN 8465-01-585-1512) is authorized to be jumped using a HSPR and a HPTLL.
Rigging procedures deviate only slightly from the procedures currently used for the MOLLE and HSPR.
Anything not mentioned should be rigged according to established procedures for MOLLE. There is no
requirement to add an outer accessory pouch, E-tool carrier, or any other similar item to the rear of the M-
MOLLE. The rigging procedures for the M-MOLLE are as follows:
z Equipment retainer straps will be routed through the carrying handle located at the top of the M-
MOLLE and then behind the shoulder carrying straps. (See figure 12-38.)
Figure 12-38. Routing of equipment retainer straps using M-MOLLE

z Route the friction adapters through oval slots at the base of the MOLLE frame. (See figure 12-39.)
z Continue rigging the harness, single-point release to the MOLLE as previously described.
z Reduce and stow the excess webbing of the shoulder carrying straps.
z Attach the HPTLL as previously described. (See figure 12-39.)
Figure 12-39. Routing of friction adapters using M-MOLLE

M7 AND M9 AID BAGS, AND SURGEONS PACK
12-61. The M7 and M9 aid bags are authorized to be jumped using a HSPR and a HPTLL. The M7 and M9
can sustain loads ranging from a minimum of 35 pounds to a maximum of 50 pounds. The M7 or the M9
cannot be jumped in conjunction with the M50 JSGPM. If the M50 JSGPM must be jumped, it should be
placed inside of the M7. Prior to rigging, all excess webbing must be secured with masking tape, retainer
bands, or appropriate webbing retainers. Rigging procedures for the M7 and M9 aid bag are as follows:
z Lay out a properly assembled HSPR with the opening gates of the snap hooks facing skyward and
remove all twists from the equipment retainer straps.
z Place the M7 or M9 on top of the HSPR, with the bottom of the M7 or M9 facing towards the
friction adapters.
z Route the equipment retainer straps under the top carrying handle and then cross them at the back
of the M7 or M9 forming an “X” configuration.

12-84. Adjusting the MAWC to the height of the jumper involves utilizing the adjusting strap:
z Do not remove the free running end of the adjusting strap from the friction adapter to make any
adjustments to its length.
z Ensure that after the adjustments are made, the adjusting strap is secured inside the horizontal
nylon equipment hangers, leaving enough free for the snap shackle to reach the left equipment
ring (approximately one-to-two inches).
z The free running end is secured in one of two ways: secured underneath the horizontal nylon
equipment hangers (not preferred) or a retainer band can be girth hitched to the horizontal nylon
equipment hanger located just above the friction adapter.
z The free running end can then be rolled or S-folded and secured with the retainer band. This is the
preferred method for securing the excess.
Note. Prior to rigging the MAWC, a retainer band can be girth hitched to the horizontal nylon
equipment hanger just above the friction adapter of the adjusting strap. A retainer band can also
be girth hitched to the vertical nylon equipment hanger below the lower tie-down strap stow pocket
to secure the adjustable leg strap.
12-85. After the MAWC has been properly adjusted to the height of the jumper resecure the snap shackle
to the left equipment ring:
z Secure the yellow safety lanyard to one of the three male portion snap fasteners.
Using the top snap fastener is not recommended in order to ensure proper placement of the
MAWC.
The top of the MAWC must rest between the chest strap and below the jumper’s arm pit and
the base of the nose cone will rest no less than six inches from the ground.
z Utilize the snap fastener that will provide the most slack in the yellow safety lanyard.
z Secure the tab thong by both the snap fastener and the upper tie-down tape. Route the upper tie-
down tape through the tab thong, then around the pack body, and secure it to the lead edge with a
single or double loop bow knot.
z When worn by the jumper, route the upper tie-down tape through the small cut away portion of
the left equipment ring from rear to front or bottom to top, then secure it to the lead edge of the
MAWC with a single or double loop bow knot. Regardless of how the tab thong is being secured,
the upper tie-down tape is routed and secured in this manner. (See figure 12-55.)
Figure 12-55. Routing the upper tie-down tape

z The ejector snap of the HPTLL is routed from front to rear as worn by the jumper, through the
attachment loop, and secured to the triangle link or the equipment ring as the outer-most item of
equipment.

12-87. The M240B or M240L, M192 LWGM, spare barrel bag, and M3 MAAWS fit into the large MAWC
and the M240B can be rigged inside the large MAWC when assembled. Place the barrel underneath the foam
padded internal divider, under the nose cone divider, and near the slider fastener. Secure the barrel by girth
hitching quarter-inch cotton webbing to the PALs in two places and secure it using a bow knot. The M3
MAAWS can be rigged in large MAWC or AT-4JP. Also:
z M240L can be rigged in the MAWC with short barrel attached.
z Spare barrel bag and M4 should be rigged inside the MAWC together.
z Place the spare barrel bag under the foam padded internal divider and separate the M4 with the
foam padded internal divider.
12-88. Rigging of machine gun tripods and spare barrel bag under the closing flap of a jumpable pack.
Rigging the M122 tripod Includes:
z Detach the flex mount and traverse and elevation (T&E) mechanism.
z Pad and tape these items with bubble wrap and masking tape.
z The flex mount and T&E mechanism must be placed inside the main compartment of the jumpable
pack.
z Fold the M122 tripod’s short leg down and secure it with a sufficient length of quarter-inch cotton
webbing in a single or double looped bow knot. If jumping the M122 tripod inside the spare barrel
bag, the short leg does not need to be tied off. (See figure 12-60.)

12-89. To rig the M122 in a jumpable pack, place the M122 tripod directly beneath the closing flap with
the short leg facing down into the main compartment of the jumpable pack.
12-90. The M192 LWGM can be jumped under the closing flap of a jumpable pack or the MAWC. To do this:
z Place the M192 LWGM into its collapsed carrying configuration and tie the legs together with a
sufficient length of quarter-inch cotton webbing in a non-slip knot.
z Tape all retaining pin pull rings using one turn of masking tape.
z Pad the incorporated T&E mechanism with two turns of bubble wrap and secure with masking
tape.
z Pad the entire hinge portion in the same manner as the T&E mechanism. By doing this, the leg-
locking stud will be protected from impact, allowing the M192 LWGM to extend into its full firing
position.
z Place the M192 LWGM directly under the closing flap of the jumpable pack with the bulk of the
T&E facing down towards the main compartment.
z Secure the closing flap, removing all slack. (See figure 12-61.)
z Secure the exposed portion of the legs to the horizontal equipment hangars on the side of the
jumpable pack with a sufficient length of quarter-inch cotton webbing using a single or double
looped bow knot.
Figure 12-61. Place M192 LWGM in main compartment of MOLLE

12-91. To rig the spare barrel bag:
z Place the spare barrel bag directly under the closing flap of the jumpable pack.
z Then secure the closing flap, removing all slack.
12-92. The 60-mm mortar weapon system (M225 and the M225A1 cannon) are rigged inside the MAWC.
The M4 and M225 cannon are also rigged inside the MAWC. The M170 bipod (older model) is rigged inside
the MAWC with the M4 secured in the locking collar.
z Pad and tape the points where there is metal-to-metal contact.
z Ensure the muzzle of the weapon and the long legs of the bipod are inside the nose cone.
z The M170A1 bipod assembly must be rigged inside the large MAWC with the M4 following the
same rigging procedures as the M170 bipod (See figure 12-62, page 12-42.)

WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT CONTAINER SYSTEM

12-93. The AIRPAC (NSN 1670-01-414-2757) is a lightweight nylon equipment pack system used to
enclose a jump load. The AIRPAC front-mount container can accommodate all size packs, radios, and 60-
mm mortar with base plate or bipod. The side-mount container can hold one AT4, M4, M24, M249, M240B
machine gun, and other ancillary equipment.
12-94. The AIRPAC consists of the front-mount container, the side-mount container, and the parachutist's
individual equipment rapid release (PIE/R2) mechanism. Loads in the front-mount container are rigged
according to the equipment used.
RIGGING JUMPABLE PACKS

12-95. Jumpable packs are rigged in the following manner:
z Extend all retaining straps outward to their limits. (The retainer strap with the circular closing flap
is the top of the container.)
z Place the container so that the retaining straps face the ground and the parachute recovery bag
faces up.
z Fold the parachute recovery bag so that no portions protrude outside the container limits.
z Place the pack on the parachute recovery bag and ensure the circular release rings on the bottom
of the container are not constrained by the pack. The jumpable pack is jumped upside down, with
the waist pad against the front of the thighs.
z Bring the right side of the container material up first, then the left side and the bottom flap, and
then the top flap.
z Place the circular closing flap on top of the pack and open the circular closing flap by pulling the
tab.
z Bring the left, right, and bottom retaining straps to the center of the circular closing flap and route
the white grommet securing loop through each grommet of the retaining straps. No specific order
is required. Bring the top flap material up last. Place the cotter pin through the white grommet
securing loop.
z Tighten all retaining straps, ensuring that the circular closing flap remains centered on the
jumpable pack. Adjust the protective flaps to stow excess fabric. Close the circular closing flap
using three hook-pile tabs.
z Underhand fold the free running ends of the retaining straps toward the friction adapters and secure
them under the webbing retainers.
Note. The circular release rings should be exposed on the top flap of the front-mount container. If
the rigged pack is above the rings and restricts movement of the rings, the load must be adjusted.

RIGGING RELEASE MECHANISM OF FRONT-MOUNTED CONTAINER

12-96. To rig the front-mount container release mechanism, use these procedures:
z Stand the rigged pack in an upright position with the bottom of the AIRPAC facing the jumper.
z Route release handle cables through the cross strap on top of the container and secure the HPT.
z With the attaching strap snap hook facing down and towards the jumper, route the circular ring of
the attaching strap from bottom to top through the circular release ring on top of the container.
Fold the circular ring of the attaching strap back over and route the red attaching loop through the
attaching ring on the attaching strap.
z With the cable loop retainer on the female portion of the leg strap release assembly facing up,
route the red attaching loop from bottom to top through the grommet on the female portion of the
leg strap release assembly. Route the release handle cable through the red attaching loop and then
through the cable loop retainer. Repeat this sequence for the other strap.
RIGGING HOOK-PILE TAPE LOWERING LINE

12-97. The HPTLL is rigged by taking the following actions:
z Select the desired landing orientation of the front-mount container (horizontally or vertically) and
attach the short bridle to the appropriate triangle link.
z Route the looped end of the HPTLL through the unsewn portion of the short bridle and form a
girth hitch. Place a retainer band around the nylon tab located inside the closure flaps. Route the
HPTLL through the retainer band and stow in the retention pocket. Secure the HPT.
z For transportation, attach the ejector snap to the primary short bridle triangle link.
RIGGING LOAD FOR SIDE-MOUNT CONTAINER

Note. If jumping an individual weapon, place the weapon muzzle down in the container slide
fastener compartment. Secure the slide fastener.
z Tighten the container retaining straps (with quick releases). S-fold excess webbing and secure to
the quick-release loop with two turns of a retainer band, leaving a three-inch tail. Secure
drawstring on top of the container with a quick-release knot, if necessary.
RIGGING AIRPAC AS TANDEM LOAD HOOK-PILE TAPE LOWERING LINE

12-98. The AIRPAC is rigged as a tandem load with HPTLL by taking the following actions:
z If the HPTLL is attached to the front-mount container, detach and place to the side. Using the
extended bridle, place the looped end through unsewn portion of short bridle and secure with a
girth hitch. Route looped end of HPTLL through the floating V-ring of the extended bridle and
form a girth hitch.
z Stow the HPTLL in the retention pocket. Stow extended bridle excess in the retention pocket,
allowing for a two-foot running end. Secure the retention pocket and attach the ejector snap of the
HPTLL to the triangle link.
z After the side-mount container is attached to the jumper, the extended bridle snap hook is attached
to the V-ring on the top of the side-mount container.
AIRPAC ATTACHED TO JUMPER

12-99. The AIRPAC is attached to jumper using the PIE/R2 mechanism as follows:
z Place the front-mount container attaching straps under the reserve parachute and attach the front-
mount container snap hooks to the equipment-rings (same as a single-point release system).
z Attach the HPTLL ejector snap to the left triangle link on the jumper’s harness.
Note. When using the PIE/R2 mechanism, ensure the harness has a lowering line adapter web or
new harness triangle link.
z Attach the PIE/R2 mechanism to the side-mount container located on jumper’s left side by placing
the hook portion of the snap shackle with the hook through the quick-release link from top to
bottom. The spring-loaded gate should face away from the container. Remember to hook the gate
toward jumper’s groin muscle.
z Open the snap shackle with hook, attach to the equipment ring on the outside of the attaching strap
snap hook from back to front, and close the snap shackle.
z Take the extended bridle snap hook and attach to the floating V-ring on top of the side container.
Secure extended bridle under the retention flap on container.
z On the PIE/R2 mechanism, route the upper tie-down tape around the side-mount container. Route
the upper tie-down tape through the D-ring from bottom to top. Tie the upper tie-down tape
utilizing a bow knot on the lead edge of the side-mount container. With the orange release handle
facing forward on the side-mount container, route the grommet tab through the looped end of the
upper attachment strap, over the red attaching loop, and secure with cable. Tighten the upper strap,
ensuring that the orange release handle stays on the front portion of the side-mount container.
z Connect the white release lanyard snap hook to the short bridle, attaching the V-ring on the top of
the front-mount container. Listen for a metallic click and pull to ensure the snap hook is secure.
z Attach the leg straps, ensuring the left leg strap is also routed around the side container. Tighten
and secure. Stow excess webbing under webbing retainers.
LIFE PRESERVERS
12-100. Jumpers wear life preservers whenever a flight is conducted over water, a water obstacle is on the
DZ, or the intended DZ is close to a water obstacle (refer to appendix D). A water obstacle is any body of

water (for example, a lake, pond, river, stream, or canal) that has a depth of four feet or more, is 40 feet wide
or wider, and is located within 1000 meters of any edge of the surveyed or tactically assessed DZ. The tactical
flotation support system (TFSS), B-7, B-5, life preserver unit (LPU) 10/P, and life preserver inflatable (NSN
4220 00 6892 9050) are currently certified for use by jumpers. Other life preservers may be used if approved
by the individual service components. When jumping life preservers, all jumpers must review rigging and
activating procedures prior to executing the Airborne operation.
12-101. The TFSS-5326 (NSN 4220-01-524-5318) is a life-saving product designed to be fastened to an
individual’s waist belt. This product uses two separate flotation bladders located in two separate pouches.
Each pouch contains a manually-operated firing mechanism and a carbon dioxide (CO2) gas cylinder that
inflates the flotation bladders. (See figure 12-63.) The TFSS-5326 is intended for use with the T-11 and MC-
6 personnel parachute systems.
Figure 12-63. TFSS 5326 fastened to a Soldier’s waist belt

Chapter 12
WARNING
The jumper must ensure they do not wear the TFSS-5326 flotation
packets between the parachute harness and their body. Serious
injury may result if inflated when worn incorrectly.
CAUTION
The CO2 cartridge cover does not extend the entire length of the CO2
cartridge cylinder, posing a potential for a cold burn to unprotected skin
(frost bite burn) when the cartridge is activated. To mitigate this risk,
jumpers must ensure the TFSS-5326 mounting belt is worn tightly
around their waist to limit CO2 cartridge movement, and ensure there is
a layer of clothing between the CO2 cartridge and the parachutist’s skin.
12-102. A secondary method of inflation for the TFSS-5326 is provided by left and right oral inflation tubes.
A “red” bead (see figure 12-64) identifies the right side pouch as worn by the jumper.
Figure 12-64. Left and right TFSS 5326 pouches

12-103. The flotation bladder’s shape allows the inflated chamber to support the person under the arms.
Both chambers are intended to inflate to provide buoyancy in the water. (See figure 12-65.) The pouches are
made of durable canvas weave fabric with nylon tape and a grommet, loop, and pin closure system. The
flotation bladders are welded black (covert) or yellow (overt) with 200 denier nylon-coated polyurethane
reflective tape.

Figure 12-65. Inflated chamber to support the person under the arms
LIFE PRESERVER UNIT 10/P

12-104. The life preserver unit 10/P (NSN 4220-00-850-8655) is a standard U.S. Air Force CO2 cartridge-
activated life preserver assembly worn during flights over water, or during airdrops when water obstacles are
near (or on) the intended DZ. The LPU 10/P has an adjustable harness and underarm inflation bladders. It is
designed to keep the wearer’s head above water at weights up to 250 pounds for up to 10 minutes. The LPU
10/P must be maintained in compliance with the U.S. Air Force.
12-105. The LPU 10/P is worn under the parachute harness. The harness is worn so that the inflatable pockets
are under the jumper’s arms. The manual inflating valves should be completely closed when donning the life
vest. The shoulder and waist straps are then adjusted to ensure the inflation container is one hand width
beneath the armpit and not constrained by the parachute harness.
WARNING
The inflation wings must be one hand width beneath the jumper’s
armpits and clear of the harness straps. If the inflation pockets
are too snug under the armpit, or if they are between the harness
and the jumper’s body, the jumper can experience severe pain or
crushed ribs during inflation.
12-106. The jumper inflates the LPU 10/P flotation bladders by pulling two toggle cords (at the bottom of
the vest) which activate the CO2 cartridges that fill the bladders with gas. An alternate provision for inflating
the vest is by blowing into the manual inflation valve rubber hoses located on the bottom side of the wings.
Manual inflation should be used only if the CO2 inflation valves fail to operate.
B-7 LIFE PRESERVER

12-107. The B-7 LPU (NSN 4220-00-657-2197) is worn under the parachute harness. To fit the B-7 life
preserver, the jumper places one flotation packet under each arm so the packet flaps face out, and the toggle
cords hang down and to the front. The shoulder strap should run from front to rear over the left shoulder,
under the back strap, then from rear to front over the right shoulder, and be attached to the ring on the right
flotation packet. Then adjust the shoulder strap so the flotation packets fit snugly against the armpits.
The jumper then attaches the chest strap to the attachment rings on the left flotation packet, forming
a quick release.

Chapter 12
WARNING
Ensure that the B-7 life preserver is worn so that the inflatable
portion is not between the parachute harness and the body.
Serious injury may result if it is in this position when inflated.

Figure 12-63. TFSS 5326 fastened to a Soldier’s waist belt
WARNING
The jumper must ensure they do not wear the TFSS-5326 flotation
CAUTION
The CO2 cartridge cover does not extend the entire length of the CO2
cartridge cylinder, posing a potential for a cold burn to unprotected skin
(frost bite burn) when the cartridge is activated. To mitigate this risk,
jumpers must ensure the TFSS-5326 mounting belt is worn tightly
around their waist to limit CO2 cartridge movement, and ensure there is
a layer of clothing between the CO2 cartridge and the parachutist’s skin.

PART THREE
Aircraft
A proficient jumpmaster must first be familiar with the aircraft being utilized. Each
aircraft has its own characteristics, and all JMs must become familiar with each of the
characteristics of those aircraft.
Chapter 15
Aircraft Types and Jump Altitudes
This chapter contains general aircraft descriptions and aircraft drop altitudes. These are
critical elements of Airborne. Aircraft are service-tested and approved for troop
jumping. Minimum jump altitudes and considerations that apply to Basic Airborne
School, tactical, and combat jumps are discussed in the material that follows.
AIRCRAFT TYPES
15-1. High-performance aircraft and utility rotary-wing aircraft are the most commonly-used types of
aircraft for Airborne operations. Characteristics of these aircraft are:
z High-performance aircraft are defined as a fixed-wing aircraft with a drop speed of 125 knots or
greater. They have the ability to determine the airdrop release point (CARP) by a member of the
aircrew (navigator) and must be able to exit paratroopers out of a troop door using either ADEPT
option two or Mass Exit procedures. (Refer to chapter 19 for nonstandard jump aircraft.)
z The UH-1 series, UH-60 series, CH-47, CH-53 (USMC) are the most commonly-used rotary-wing
aircraft for troop airdrops.
JUMP ALTITUDES
15-2. The minimum criteria discussed below include a 125-foot aircraft altimeter error and a 100-foot canopy
control requirement for the MC-6. The minimum jump altitudes for all aircraft are described below and in
table 15-1 on page 15-2.
15-3. Refer to table 15-1 on page 15-2 for peacetime training. The jump altitudes for basic Airborne training
are as follows:
z 1250 feet AGL (T-11).
z 1000 feet AGL with a waiver from the Airborne Ranger Training Brigade commander.
15-4. For tactical training, it is 800 feet AGL for the MC-6 and T-11. Aircraft with a drop speed of less than
90 knots it is 1500 feet AGL.

Chapter 15
CAUTION
The T-11 parachute should not be jumped above 1250 feet AGL for high
performance aircraft. Due to the drift characteristics of the parachute,
the jumper may drift off of the surveyed drop zone.
15-5. Combat (wartime) drop speeds are restricted to rotary-winged aircraft with a minimum drop speed of
90 knots per hour, For drop speeds above 90 knots, the following applies:
z 600-feet AGL – T-11.
z 600-feet AGL – MC-6.
CAUTION
T-11 may be used for rotary-winged operations if justified by a command
deliberate risk assessment worksheet.
15-6. . For fixed-wing aircraft with a drop speed greater than 125 knots per hour, the following applies for
the T-11 and MC-6:
z 550 feet AGL (C-130) and 525 feet AGL (C-17) – T-11 (fixed-wing only).
z 475 feet AGL – MC-6.
z Minimum airspeed is 125 knots.
z Reserve parachute is optional (combat operations).

800 feet AGL drop altitude may raise the risk level based on jumper’s proficiency and
command experience.
2-
Reserve parachute optional.
3-
T-11 may be used for rotary-wing operations if justified by a command deliberate risk
assessment worksheet. Due to the drift characteristics of the parachute, the jumper may drift
off of the surveyed drop zone.

CAUTION
The T-11 ATPS meets the operational requirements for use at altitudes
of 7500 feet MSL and below. The T-11 ATPS has not been tested above
7500 feet MSL, therefore a deliberate risk assessment must reflect using
the T-11 ATPS at altitudes above 7500 feet MSL. Jumpers will
experience increased opening shocks and faster rates of descent.

CAUTION
During over the ramp combination airdrops (CDS or heavy drop loads
followed by personnel), there must be a three-second interval between
the exit of equipment and the exit of jumpers in order to avoid possible
jumper entanglement during over the ramp operations. The DZSO or
DZSTL must follow the procedures for heavy drop operations, but
observe the jumpers as they exit the aircraft.

Airsickness bags and earplugs are available.

100-mph tape is available to secure the platform locking lever.
If jump platforms are not installed in the doors, they must be secured to the upper ramp.
All equipment and crew baggage is secured to the floor.
During the jump briefing, the jumpers are warned to avoid striking or grabbing the door
platform locking lever on the leading edge of the door.
C-27J STATIC LINE OVER-THE-RAMP OPERATIONS

16-56. In July 2015, the C-27J was approved for safe airdrop operations from both sides of the ramp to
support static line airborne operations. During a static line over-the-ramp airborne operations test, operational
paratroopers successfully conducted 229 static line airdrops from the ramp of the C-27J without combat
equipment. This test demonstrated a 0.99 reliability rating at the 90 percent lower confidence level. The
C-27J is fully capable of conducting static line over-the-ramp airborne operations without combat equipment.
Jumpmasters must review the physical characteristics of the aircraft and establish safety parameters for
movement of parachutists aboard the aircraft prior to any airdrop operations. All parachutists are required to
conduct mock ramp rehearsals, actions inside the aircraft, and proper exit procedures when using over-the-ramp
exit of the C-27J.
WARNING
Due to turbulent airflow outside of the aircraft ramp and the erratic
behavior of the D-bags, the flight engineer must use the retrieval system
when retrieving D-bags during all over-the-ramp static line airborne
operations. If the retrieval system is not used, the turbulent winds are
enough to pull the flight engineer and safety outside of the aircraft and
may cause catastrophic safety hazards to personnel and equipment.
WARNING
When the C-27J is in flight, the ramp and paratroop (rear exit) doors
are prohibited from being open at the same time.
CAUTION
Jumpers will not jump with combat equipment (rucksack and
weapons case) for over-the-ramp operations. Ramp exits with
combat equipment cause excessive twists and jumpers flipping
through their risers due to the airflow aft of the aircraft and may
cause catastrophic safety hazards to personnel and equipment.
Note. When conducting over-the-ramp operations, a five-foot extension must be added to the USL
modified.

Chapter 16
Note. Static line bumper stop must be positioned at Station 610 for over-the-ramp operations.
EQUIPMENT DROP
16-57. Container delivery system bundles can be pushed off the ramp. Cargo rollers can be installed on the
ramp to aid in handling larger bundles.
JOINT PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

16-58. The JM coordinates the exact time sequence of pre-jump procedures with the pilot in command and
the flight engineer. Following preliminary orientation, and before loading personnel onboard the aircraft, the
JM and flight engineer should make a joint inspection of the aircraft. The purpose of the joint inspection is
to verify the readiness of the aircraft for the conduct of the mission and to take actions necessary to achieve
this readiness.
SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL REQUIRED

16-59. To ensure command and control when jumping over-the-ramp, one JM, two non-jumping safeties,
and two flight engineers are required. If using a static JM, only one safety is required. When using two
safeties, the aft safety will wear an approved safety harness and the forward safety may wear an approved
bailout parachute.
CAUTION
Safety harness length must be checked prior to conducting flight and/or
jump operations to ensure the length does not extend beyond the aircraft
ramp in the level position.
JUMP COMMANDS
16-60. The following eight jump commands are used for over-the-ramp operations:
z GET READY: Jumpers respond in the same manner as for other fixed-wing aircraft.
z STAND UP: Jumpers stand up and face the ramp of the aircraft.
z HOOK UP: The jumpers detach the USL snap hook from the top carrying handle of the reserve
parachute and hook up to the anchor line cable with the open portion of the snap hook facing
outboard, ensuring that the snap hook seats properly. The jumpers will maintain a reverse bite on
the static line.
z CHECK STATIC-LINES, CHECK EQUIPMENT, and SOUND OFF FOR EQUIPMENT
CHECK. These commands are executed in the same manner as with other fixed-wing aircraft.
z STAND BY:
If the JM is jumping, he moves to the hinge of the ramp.
If a static-line JM, the Number 1 jumper moves to the hinge of the ramp.
z GO:
If the JM is jumping, at the command of GO, the JM looks at the Number 2 jumper and gives
the command, FOLLOW ME, then exits the aircraft off the center of the ramp. The safety
controls the flow of the jumpers.
If a static JM, at the command of GO, the Number 1 jumper walks off the center of the ramp.

CAUTION
Do not sacrifice the safety of the jumpers by rushing the inspection of
the static lines. If the safety cannot finish the inspection of the static lines
prior to the command stand-by, do not put any jumpers out and make
another pass.
CAUTION
All jumpers exit the ramp by walking off the center of the ramp. Exits
from the left or right side of the ramp result in a poor exit and may cause
serious injury or death.
Note. The drop speed of the aircraft is approximately 130 knots and flaps 2 are used when
conducting static line over-the-ramp operations.
OVER-THE-RAMP SPECIFIC CHECKLIST

16-61. Ensure that the flight engineer installs the stops on both sides of the ramp so that it is level with the
aircraft floor when open. Disengage the support bracket near the door for bundle drops that use the retrieval
system to pull in the static line. Secure the retrieval cable against the anchor line with breakaway ties starting
at the rear of the cable and ending at the ramp hinge. This prevents the ramp from cutting the retrieval cable
during operation.
16-62. Ensure a CGU1 B cargo strap is available and in the appropriate position in the event of a towed
parachutist. The cargo strap is prepositioned at Station 700 just aft of the ramp storage bins and on the same
side of the aircraft as the anchor line cable being used. The other end of the cargo strap is secured on the
same side near the observation window where it does not interfere with jump procedures and be readily
accessible for towed jumper retrieval.
TOWED JUMPER PROCEDURES FOR RAMP EXIT

16-63. Crews should suspect they have a towed jumper if the static line is not positioned high and to the
left or right upper corner of the ramp. The JM or safety is responsible for identifying how the jumper is being
towed. If being towed by anything other than the static line, the JM or safety shall attempt to free the jumper.
If the JM or safety is unable to free the jumper, the jumper will be retrieved whether conscious or
unconscious. However, if the jumper cannot be retrieved and indicates consciousness, cut the jumper free
over the DZ or a safe area.
Note. Towed parachutists indicate consciousness and that the reserve parachute is ready by
maintaining a tight-body position with both hands on the reserve parachute. This indicates the
jumper is prepared to be cut away.
Note. If the parachutist is towed following a ramp exit, it will be necessary to partially rewind the
static line retriever to reach the static line for cutting.

Chapter 16
16-64. If a parachutist is to be cut free, the flight engineer retrieves the static line far enough inside the
aircraft to allow the JM to reach the static line to cut the towed parachutist's static line.
16-65. If the parachutist is to be retrieved, the flight engineer secures the CGU1 B cargo strap (from where
it is stowed by the observation window) under the static line and relocates it to the tie-down ring located on
the opposite side of the cabin at Station 590. After securing the CGU1 B cargo strap, the flight engineer uses
the static line retrieval winch to pull the towed parachutist in. The static line is retrieved over the CGU1 B
strap. As the parachutist is retrieved to the ramp area, the flight engineer and safety personnel gain physical
control of the jumper. The parachutist is pulled into the aircraft (under the strap) as the flight engineer relieves
tension from the static line retrieval winch.
CAUTION
Non-jumping personnel do not proceed aft of the paratroop doors unless
wearing approved safety harness and with approval from the flight
engineer. Safety harness length must be checked prior to conducting
flight and/or jump operations to ensure the length does not extend
beyond the aircraft ramp in the level position.
Note. During ramp retrieval, the aircrew begins a gradual climb of 500 feet and should not make
any unnecessary turns. This assists in keeping the towed jumper in the center of the cargo and/or
ramp opening for better control, reducing the possibility of injury during retrieval.

WARNING
The parachutist jump pack, AT4JP, or SMJP may not be jumped
from aircraft that require jumpers to exit from a seated position. It
is highly recommended that unit leadership take a deliberate
approach to training individuals who have never executed a T-11
ATPS jump and develop a progression plan for individuals who
have less than 10 jumps with the T-11 ATPS. These jumpers are
statistically at the highest risk for a parachute incident.

WARNING
The JM must ensure the tail skid is in the UP position prior to
releasing parachutists. Failure to ensure tail skids in the UP
position can cause a towed jumper or severe injury situation.
CAUTION
Do not use a clevis assembly (G-13) to attach the anchor line cable to
the aircraft. If the cable is loose, the clevis may rotate sideways and
drastically reduce the strength of the anchor line cable.

WARNINGS
The JM must ensure the jumper has T-11R inserts in place and a
five-foot universal static line extension attached to the USLM.
Failure to use a universal static line extension may cause personal
injury from deployment bag strikes.
The JM must ensure the jumper has a proper reverse bight. If an
improper reverse bight is taken, the USLM could become
misrouted under the arm and cause a towed jumper or severe
injury.

Sister Service Aircraft
Figure 18-9. V-22 Osprey aircraft mode

18-22. For static line operations the V-22 is limited to airplane mode only, with a maximum drop speed of
125 knots (+/- 5 knots) with a minimum drop altitude of 1000 feet AGL. A total of 24 passengers can be
transported to conduct parachute operations. All jump operations are over the ramp operations, which is the
only egress point available to the jumper. A staggered offset file exit formation is used for static line
operations with combat equipment.
18-23. Ensure that the pilot is briefed to expect rapid shifts in the aircraft’s center of gravity during stand
up, hook up, and exit of jumpers. PJM ensures that all jumpers have T-11R inserts in place. Crowded
conditions inside the cargo compartment could allow for the accidental activation of a reserve parachute,
creating an extremely hazardous situation. During movement within the aircraft, the rip cord grip of the
reserve parachute is protected by placing the right hand and forearm over the front of the reserve. This method
allows the jumper to control the pilot chute and canopy in case of accidental activation.
SPACE LIMITATIONS
18-24. The space limitations for the V-22 Osprey aircraft are described below. A total of 24 passengers can
be transported to conduct parachute operations.
18-25. Multiple container delivery systems maximum gross weight is 4950 pounds. Individual CDS
maximum rigged weight will not exceed 2328 pounds gross rigged weight. Container footprint is limited to
double A-22 or smaller. A single A-22-sized container height is limited to 60 inches as measured from bottom
of the platform to the highest point on the load, including the parachutes. Double A-22-sized container height
is limited to 50 inches as measured from the bottom of the platform to the highest point on the load including
the parachutes. Ensure ramp is level and upper ramp door is completely open to maintain adequate clearance
between the load and aircraft when load exits.
18-26. When the MV-22 Cargo Release System releases the cargo load, the Cargo Release System falls to
the deck of the aircraft, presenting a tripping hazard to follow on jumpers as they move towards the ramp to
exit the aircraft. When conducting combination personnel and cargo airdrops in which the personnel follow
the cargo out of the aircraft, unit commanders are required to implement controls designed specifically to
mitigate the risks associated with this hazard.
18-27. USLMs and deployment bags are manually retrieved by the crew chief with assistance from the JM
immediately after the last jumper is clear. The USLMs and deployment bags are secured as soon as they are
retrieved inside the aircraft. If the ramp is up, the USLMs can be removed from the anchor cable; otherwise,
the static lines are not detached until the aircraft is on the ground.
18-28. Crowded conditions inside the aircraft dictate that caution be used to prevent entanglement or
misrouting of USLMs during the jumper’s exit. Each jumper is cautioned to watch the USLM of the
preceding jumper and to observe all the USLMs trailing from the upper corner of the ramp opening. This
precaution ensures that succeeding jumpers do not jump until the parachute of the preceding jumper has
deployed, and that the deployment bag has trailed to the rear of the aircraft.

Chapter 18
TOWED JUMPER PROCEDURES

18-29. In the event of a towed jumper, the JM prevents any other jumpers from exiting and notifies the
pilot. The jumper stays in a tight body position and protects the rip cord handle. The JM will ensure the
jumper is securely attached to the aircraft and will not break free during descent. If the jumper is not securely
attached, the JM will attempt to shake or cut them free.
18-30. If the jumper cannot be safely freed from the aircraft, the aircraft will convert to helicopter mode
and slowly descend to the DZ. A jumper can safely be lowered and landed on the ground while suspended
from the MV-22. In the event the jumper cannot be lowered to the ground, once the hung jumper is at 10 feet
or less above the ground, the JM will cut the jumper free.
STATIC LINE OPERATIONS AND SEATING CONFIGURATION

18-31. The aircraft speed is 125 +/- 5 knots for static line operations. The JM will control the ramp level,
but it is recommended to be placed at the seventh light setting, which is controlled by the aircrew. When
utilizing the MC-6, jumpers use a four-second count when conducting the first point of performance.
Note. Airplane and conversion modes can only be used for military free-fall operations.
18-32. Jumpers in troop seats should have the seat back webbing in the lower position (see figure 18-10)
and use only the lap belt. Jumpers may also be floor loaded. (See figure 18-11.) Inflight rigging of
paratroopers is authorized. Safety and mission-essential equipment will dictate the number of paratroopers
to be airdropped in compliance with MV-22 and AFTTP 3-3.CV-22. Jumpers can be seated on the floor
facing the rear of the aircraft at a 45-degree angle with the jumpers split between the port and starboard sides
of the aircraft. The jumpers are restrained by individual safety belts routed around each jumper.

carrying handle of the reserve parachute and hook up to the anchor line cable with the open portion
of the snap hook facing outboard, ensuring that the snap hook locks properly. The universal static
line is controlled by each jumper in a reverse bight at waist level in the left hand.
z CHECK STATIC LINES, CHECK EQUIPMENT, and SOUND OFF FOR EQUIPMENT
CHECK. (These are executed in the same manner as with other fixed-wing aircraft.).
z STAND BY/STAND IN THE DOOR.
STAND BY. The No. 1 jumper, upon receiving the command, STAND BY, assumes a
standing position near the starboard side of the ramp hinge. The No. 2 jumper stands on the
port side of the aircraft slightly to the right of jumper 1. The remaining personnel close up the
interval behind the No. 1 jumper.
STAND IN THE DOOR. The proper door position is taken by the jumpers in both doors, with
the appropriate foot resting on the elevated doorsill. There is no jump platform.
z GO. Personnel exit the aircraft at one-second intervals.
19-13. The No. 1 jumper, upon receiving the command of “GO,” walks off the port side rear corner of the
ramp. The remaining jumpers follow at a one-second interval. After the command GO, each jumper will walk
off the ramp and snap into a good, tight body position and began the 4000 count for the MC-6 or 6000 count
for the T-11 ATPS. (See figure 19-2 for C-7A.)
Figure 19-2. C-7A configuration for jumping from the ramp

19-14. When the troop doors are used, simultaneous exits must not be made. The No. 1 jumper exits the
starboard door and No. 2 exits the port door one second after No. 1. The remaining jumpers alternate in
numerical order at one-second intervals. (See figure 19-3 on page 19-4.)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
19-15. Jumpers ensure that all seats are secured in the raised position when they stand to hook up. During
extreme air turbulence, jumpers take a short bight on the static line and use the center anchor line to steady
themselves.
19-16. All jumpers remain off the ramp while it is being lowered to the 15-degree incline for aft end
jumping. Jumpers walk down the ramp with feet spread wide to prevent striking the side of the aircraft.
19-17. Upon exit from the aircraft, the jumper brings feet and knees together to form a tight body position.
When following heavy equipment loads, jumpers exit between the roller conveyers of the aerial unloading
kit.
19-18. The JM or safety ensures personnel are hooked up in an alternating manner to the same anchor line
cable and form one continuous stick of jumpers. For door jumping, the JM or safety taps out the jumpers
alternately to preclude a simultaneous exit from both sides of the aircraft. If the JM jumps last, they must
hook up to the center anchor line cable and exercise caution to control their own USLM and ensure it does
not become fouled.
Note. The left troop door may be removed before the operation to allow the JM to look for the
DZ. If worn, the restraint harness is attached to the centerline anchor cable as a safety measure.
19-19. When the modular Airborne weapons’ cases are jumped from the paratroop doors, they must be
reduced to 36 inches in length. When accompanying supplies and equipment are dropped from the paratroop
doors, the bundles must be standard air delivery containers no larger than 40௅E\௅௅E\௅36 inches.
19-20. When ramp bundles are dropped, the 15-foot static line with drogue or the breakaway static line may
be used. When door bundles are dropped, the 15-foot static lines with drogues are used with cargo parachutes.
The ramp roller conveyor section for the air unloading kit is installed on the port side of the ramp and is used
to assist in ejecting the bundles from the ramp. Jumpers Nos. 1 and 2 push the bundles and are current and
qualified jumpmasters.
19-21. The speed of the aircraft during the jump is not less than 90 or more than 120 knots. When jumping
from the paratroop doors, the crew chief removes the paratroop doors and tapes the rear portion of the door

CAUTION
During over the ramp combination airdrops (CDS and/or high explosive
followed by personnel), there must be a three-second interval between
the exit of equipment and the exit of jumpers in order to avoid possible
jumper entanglement during over the ramp operations. The DZSO or
DZSTL must follow the procedures for heavy drop operations, but
observe the jumpers as they exit the aircraft.

18-foot platforms: the number of platforms used to calculate the minimum size
drop zone is determined by platform placement, and the number of platforms
actually onboard the aircraft. The number of empty positions aft of an actual
platform or pallet being dropped must be added to the overall number of
NOTE: pallets. For example, one platform in position 1L and one platform in position
4R would require calculations based on five platforms.
463L or eight-foot training platforms: minimum drop zone is 1600 yards long by
600 yards wide for the two or three pallet or platform training configuration.

meters on each side). (N/A for C-17 GPS drops.)
z Station keeping equipment formation (heavy equipment or CDS); increase width
by 400 yards/366 meters (200 yards/183 meters on each side).
z Personnel formation; minimum DZ basic width using center PIs is 1240 yards for
two-ship elements and 1800 yards for three-ship elements. When using offset PIs,
minimum basic width is 1050 yards for two-ship elements and 1300 yards for three-
ship elements. Drop altitude adjustments from chart still apply.
Note 3. Length adjustments (N/A for AFSOC assigned or gained, aircraft OPCON to
USSOCOM, or a theater special operations command:
z Night visual airdrops; increase length by 100 yards/92 meters (50 yards/46 meters
on each end).
Note 4. I-CDS DZ length and width requirements will be in compliance with AFI 13-217.
Note 5. Normal training minimum JPADS DZ size requirements:
z These minimum DZ size requirements are for normal JPADS training outside of
Yuma Proving Grounds. The DZ size requirements at YPG are at the discretion
AMC/A3D, Natick Soldier Systems Center and YPG as necessary for testing,
development and evaluation of JPADS. JPADS upgrade training for aircrews may
occur at YPG or DZ sizes smaller than stated above with the concurrence of
AMC/A3 D.
z During contingency use, recommended minimum JPADS DZ size is 200-300
meters (218-328 yards) radius circular. Ultimately, minimum JPADS DZ size rests
with the user and the joint force commander (or director of mobility forces is so
delegated).

22-17. Once the jumpers have exited the aircraft, the GTA then clears the aircraft from the control zone.
The following is an example of how the aircraft is cleared:
z Pilot: “C3D36, this is A2A22, over.”
z GTA: A2A22, this is C3D36, over.
z Pilot: “D36, this is A22, CCP inbound for a personnel parachute drop, over.”
z GTA: “A22, this is D36, state type and number, over.
z Pilot: “D36, A22 is a single UH-1H, over.
z GTA: “A22, this is D36,
“Heading [180] distance (from communications check point).
“Drop heading [180].
“Drop altitude [1500] (feet indicated).
“Drop speed.
“Number jumpers/bundles that can be accepted.”
z GTA controller reads entire ATC block to the pilot and ends the transmission with: “Continue
approach for visual identification, over.”
z Pilot: “Wilco.”
z Upon sighting aircraft, the GTA tells the pilot: “A22, this is D36, I am at your 11 o’clock, 500
meters, signal out, can you identify, over?”
z Pilot: “D36, A22 identifies orange panel, over.”
z GTA: “A22, D36 has visual contact, turn to drop heading, over.”
z Pilot: “D36, A22 turning drop heading, over.”
z GTA: “A22, this is D36, steer left/right, over.”
z Pilot: “D36, A22 roger.”
z GTA: “A22, this is D36, on course, over.”
z Pilot: “D36, A22 roger.”
z When aircraft is eight to 10 seconds out from release point: GTA: “A22, this is D36, with six
jumpers, stand by, over.”
z PILOT: “D36, this is A22, standing by, over.”
z When aircraft is directly over the release point: GTA: “A22, this is D36, with six jumpers,
EXECUTE, EXECUTE, EXECUTE.” (GTA must say EXECUTE or NO DROP at least three
times, or until the first load exits.”
z At completion of operation, the GTA tells the pilot: “A22, this is D36, I observe six jumpers away
and clear, state intention and report when clear of my control zone,” (include issuing any
advisories), “over.” (GTA must place aircraft into a closed traffic pattern with a reporting point if
more than one pass is required.)
JUMPMASTER SPOTTED AND JUMPMASTER RELEASE

22-18. Jumpmaster spotted and jumpmaster release is used by U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, and U.S.
Special Operations Command units. The JSJR release point computation or “spotting” may be used from all
types of aircraft. It is the same concept as the calculations used for VIRS and GMRS however; it is used by
the JM for spotting and determining the release point from the aircraft. A map of the drop zone 1:50,000 or
1:25,000, protractor, pencil, and calculator are required. Plot the impact point, canopy drift, forward throw,
RP, terrain feature, and wind direction on the map using the procedures below.
z Step 1.Determine what effect the wind will have on the canopy using the wind drift formula
D=KAV, as outlined in chapter 21.
z Step 2.Using a protractor, plot the impact point on the map. Starting from the impact point, plot
the canopy drift into the direction of the wind on a map.
z Step 3.Determine the forward throw of the aircraft as outlined in chapter 21.
z Step 4.Starting at the canopy drift, plot the forward throw opposite the direction of flight and mark
this on the map. This is called the release point.

Chapter 22
Note. Continue with steps 5 and 6 if the RP is not identifiable from the aircraft.
z Step 5. Locate a terrain feature that is on the inbound aircraft track and is as close as possible to
the RP. For example a road, hilltop, buildings, trees, river, bridge, or something identifiable from
the air. Mark the terrain feature reference point on the map.
z Step 6. Determine the count (time in seconds), from the terrain feature reference point to the
release point on the ground. The time/distance formula T = D/R is used.
z Step 7. The JM starts “spotting” by guiding the aircraft to the intended release point by giving the
pilot flight corrections. The JM gives the “GO” when the aircraft is over the RP. If a terrain feature
reference point is used, the JM guides the aircraft to the terrain feature and starts their count. The
aircraft maintains heading and the JM gives the “GO” at the end of the count RP. The jumpers exit
the aircraft at the RP and forward throw to the canopy drift. The canopy drift will take effect, and
the first jumper will land on the impact point.
22-19. For example, to determine the count in seconds and RP for a UH-60 flying at 270 degrees, dropping
four jumpers equipped with MC-6 parachutes from an altitude of 1500 feet AGL in 10 knot winds from 060
degrees with a drop speed of 80 knots indicated airspeed and the nearest terrain feature on the aircraft track
is 165 meters away, compute the following:
z Step 1. D = KAV.
D = 3.0 by 15 by 10.
D = 450 meters.
z Step 2. Plot on the map.
z Step 3 Forward throw, aircraft speed is 80 knots (80 by 0.51 = 40.8 or 41 meters per second).
z Step 4. Plot on the map.
z Step 5. Locate a terrain feature reference point.
z Step 6. Determine the count from terrain feature to the RP use T = D/R.
The terrain feature is a road 165 meters from the RP.
T= 165/41.
T = four seconds past the terrain feature.
z Step 7. Check to ensure everything is properly calculated and plotted on the map. Using all the
information from the example, the jumpers will exit and land as shown in figure 22-6.

z Emergencies in the air.

z Emergencies in the water include the following actions:
Ensure the life preserver is fully inflated.
If trapped under the canopy, the jumper finds a radial seam and follows it to the edge.
If trapped under the canopy, the jumper lifts their hand slowly and creates an air pocket to
breath, then cuts a hole in the canopy material. (If the jumper lifts their hand too quickly, they
will create a suction and the canopy will stick to their face and arm.)
Wet silk training is completed and documented within six months prior to the jump (12
months for U.S. Navy personnel).
25-21. The following recovery procedures must be performed:
z Recover parachutes by pulling them in the boat by the apex.
z Ensure the boat is kept free of gasoline and oil, which would ruin the parachutes.
z Orientation at the WDZ for the WDZ crew.
z Any special instructions.
PROCEDURES FOR WATER LANDINGS WITH A LIFE PRESERVER
WARNING
All jumpers conducting a deliberate water landing must be
prepared to conduct a PLF in the event the jumper fails to land
inside the surveyed DZ or during emergency bailout procedures.
25-22. Additional information on approved life preservers can be found in chapter 12. The procedures for
deliberate water landings with a life preserver are:
z Jumpers may wear combat equipment only after it has been waterproofed and float-checked.
z To waterproof equipment, use bags and rigger tape inside equipment containers. Float check by
submerging in a tank of water until saturated and ensure the equipment is neutral or positive
buoyant (floats).
z Jumpers wear service approved life preservers.
z Jumpers wear the approved waterborne operations helmet or a service approved helmet during
WDZ operations.
z Jumpers jumping in cold water (60 degrees or below) wear wetsuits or dry suits and may wear a
wetsuit or dry suit hood under the ballistic helmet.
z Jumpers may wear wetsuit booties, coral booties, or tennis shoes, these shoes WILL BE closed
toe shoes.
z Jumpers may follow equipment such as door bundles and combat rubber raiding craft on a single
ship operation. There are three seconds between the cargo exit and the first jumper’s exit to ensure
the jumpers do not become entangled with the cargo.
z The cargo and jumpers are hooked to the same anchor line cable on the same side when jumping
the ramp.
B-7 LIFE PRESERVER

25-23. The B-7 life preserver is worn under the parachute harness with the inflatable portions under the
jumper’s armpits. (See figure 25-1, page 25-8.) At 200 feet AGL, the jumper releases all equipment tie-downs
and lowers and jettisons their equipment.
25-24. During the descent, the jumper inflates the life preserver by discharging the attached CO2 cartridges.
If necessary, the life preserver can be inflated by blowing air into the inflation valve hose. As their feet touch
the water, in case of drag, the jumper activates one canopy release assembly by pulling out on the safety clip

Chapter 25
exposing the cable loops. ENSURE the jumper sounds off with “RISER” when activating the canopy release
assembly using one of the two methods, hand-to-shoulder or hand assist. The jumper prepares to execute a
PLF if the water is shallow.
25-25. Since the B-7 life preserver provides 500 pounds of positive buoyancy, the jumper does not remove
the harness. The jumper swims upstream or upwind away from the parachute to avoid becoming entangled
and signals “ALL OK” to the recovery boat.
DANGER
Jumpers do not release the canopy release assemblies unless they
are being dragged under water. Altitude is hard to judge over the
water. If the jumper activates their canopy releases at even
moderately high altitude (for example, 50 feet), serious injury or
death may result.
CAUTION
The jumper must stay clear of the suspension lines to avoid
entanglement. If the parachute and equipment are too heavy and hard
to hold on to, the jumper lets go of the equipment to avoid being pulled
under.
If the jumper signals anything but the “ALL OK” or does not signal, the
boat crew will proceed to assist the jumper from the water.
Figure 25-1. Landing with the B-7 life preserver

Deliberate Water Drop Zone Operations
UDT LIFE PRESERVER

25-26. Jumpers wearing a UDT vest route the chest strap under the UDT vest so that the chest is not crushed
if the UDT is inflated.
25-27. Upon exiting the aircraft, the jumper checks the canopy and steers away from other jumpers. At
altitude, the jumper releases all equipment tie-downs and lowers and jettisons their equipment. The jumper
activates the quick release on the waistband and unsnaps the left connector snap on the reserve parachute.
The jumper rotates the reserve to the right side of the parachute harness and seat themself well into the saddle.
25-28. The jumper activates the quick release on the chest strap and inflates their life preserver with air by
blowing into the inflation tube or activating the CO2 cartridge. Sitting back in the harness and using the right
hand to hold onto the left main lift web, the jumper steers with their left hand. Just before entering the water,
they place their hands on the ejector snaps on the leg straps. The jumper activates the ejector snaps on the leg
straps, throws their arms up, and arches out of the harness when entering the water. They prepare to execute
a PLF if the water is shallow.
25-29. The jumper swims upstream or upwind away from the parachute to avoid becoming entangled, and
signals “ALL OK” to the recovery boat.
CAUTION
entanglement. If the parachute and equipment are too heavy to hold on
to, the jumper lets go of the equipment to avoid being pulled under.
LIFE PRESERVER UNIT 10/P

25-30. The LPU 10/P (NSN 4220-00-850-8655) is a standard U.S. Air Force CO2 cartridge-activated life
preserver assembly worn during flights over water, or during airdrops when water obstacles are near or on
the intended DZ. The LPU 10/P has an adjustable harness and underarm inflation bladders. It is designed to
keep the wearer’s head above water at weights up to 250 pounds for up to 10 minutes. The LPU 10/P must
be maintained according to U.S. Air Force standards.
25-31. During the descent, the jumper inflates the life preserver by discharging the attached CO2 cartridges.
If necessary, the life preserver can be inflated by blowing air into the inflation valve hose. As their feet touch
the water, in case of drag, the jumper activates one canopy release assembly by pulling out on the safety clip
exposing the cable loops. The jumper sounds off with “RISER” when activating the canopy release assembly
using one of the two methods, hand to shoulder or hand assist. They prepare to execute a PLF if the water is
shallow. The jumper swims upstream or upwind away from the parachute to avoid becoming entangled and
signals “ALL OK” to the recovery boat.
CAUTION
25-32. The LPU 10/P is worn under the parachute harness. The harness is worn so that the inflatable pockets
are under the jumper’s arms. The manual inflating valves should be completely closed when donning the life
vest. The shoulder and waist straps are then adjusted to ensure the inflation container is one hand width
beneath the armpit and not constrained by the parachute harness

Chapter 25
WARNING
armpits and clear of the harness scraps. If the inflation pockets are
too snug under the armpit, or if they are between the harness and
the jumper’s body, the jumper can experience severe pain or
TFSS-5326 LIFE PRESERVER

25-33. The TFSS-5326 is worn under the parachute harness with the inflatable portions fastened to an
individual’s waist belt. At 200 feet AGL, the jumper releases all equipment tie-downs and lowers and
jettisons their equipment.
25-34. The jumper activates the quick release on the waistband and unsnaps the left connector snap on the
reserve parachute. The jumper rotates the reserve to the right side of the parachute harness, seats them self
well into the saddle, and inflates the life preservers by activating the CO2 cartridge. (In the event of CO2
cartridge failure, blow air into the inflation tubes.) The jumper activates the quick release on the chest strap.
25-35. After activating the quick release of the chest strap, the jumper immediately regains control of the
canopy. Just before entering the water, they place their hands on the ejector snaps on the leg straps. The
jumper activates the ejector snaps on the leg straps, throws their arms up, and arches out of the harness when
entering the water. They prepare to execute a PLF if the water is shallow.
25-36. The jumper swims upstream or upwind away from the parachute to avoid becoming entangled and
signals “All OK” to the recovery boat by extending one stationary arm overhead.
WARNING
The jumper must ensure he does not wear the TFSS-5326 flotation

RED LIGHT PROCEDURES AND JUMP REFUSALS

E-6. There are multiple reasons for a red light during flight. These reasons include out of drop zone,
obstacles on the drop zone, low flying aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and other situations. If a red light occurs
during exit, the jumpmaster places their hand in the jumpers face, gives the command, “RED LIGHT, RED
LIGHT, RED LIGHT,” and informs the stick to move back away from the paratroop door. If jumpers have
already bisected the paratroop door, they will proceed to exit out of the aircraft.
E-7. If jumpers refuse to jump, the jumpmaster will give the following command three times both physically
and verbally: “GREEN LIGHT GO.” If the jumper fails to exit after the third command, the safety secures
the jumper by the pack tray, and states, “YOU ARE A JUMP REFUSAL, I AM REMOVING YOU FROM
THE PARATROOP DOOR.” The safety then removes the jumper from the paratroop door. The jumpmaster
secures the open paratrooper door. The safety seats the jumper out of the way (ramp or inboard seat) and
gives the jumper a lawful order to not touch any equipment.
E-8. The jumpmaster team then continues to exit jumpers if green light permits. Once the paratroop doors
are closed, the safety unhooks the universal static line of any jump refusals and moves them toward the
forward portion of the aircraft. The safety tells the jump refusals to sit down and again states, “DO NOT
TOUCH YOUR EQUIPMENT.” Upon landing, the safety takes positive control of the jump refusals and
transfers them to the DACO. The jump refusals receive a JMPI from the DACO and a technical inspection is
conducted of their equipment by a parachute rigger. If something is found wrong with the jumper’s
equipment, no action against the jumper is taken. If no deficiencies are found, the jumper is turned over to
the chain of command for appropriate actions according to the unit SOP.
TOWED JUMPER
E-9. All towed jumpers who are unconscious and are being towed by their universal static line modified
are retrieved and placed inside the aircraft. Towed jumpers who are conscious should maintain a good tight body
position with both hands covering their rip cord handles and an attempt is made to retrieve them and place
them inside the aircraft. As the conscious towed jumpers near the paratroop door, they do not reach for
personnel, but should continue to protect their rip cord handles.
E-10. If the jumper cannot be retrieved, their universal static lines modified are cut. Once the jumper feels
themself falling free from the aircraft, they count to 6000 and activate their reserve parachute using the pull
drop method. If the jumper is being towed by their equipment, regardless of whether they are conscious or
unconscious, that item of equipment will be cut or jogged free, and the jumper’s main canopy will deploy.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
E-11. In emergencies, the following is conducted by the JM team with the jumpers inside the mock door.
The JM team should explain the actions for each type of emergency and then have jumpers demonstrate the
emergency actions. If there is:
z Ground evacuation or continuous ringing of the alarm bell: if jumpers inside the aircraft hear one
continuous ring of the alarm bell, there is a crash landing during takeoff. Jumpers should remain
seated, extend their legs to a 45-degree angle, wrap their arms around their legs, and place their
heads on their knees until the aircraft stops. Jumpers then exit under the direction of the
jumpmasters or loadmaster.
z Crash landing, ditching, six short rings of the alarm bell, or oral warning: if jumpers inside the
aircraft hear six short rings of the alarm bell or an oral warning, there is a crash landing during
flight. Jumpers should remain seated, rotate their legs to a 45 degree angle, wrap their arms around
their legs, and place their heads on their knees until the aircraft stops. Jumpers then exit under the
direction of the jumpmasters or loadmaster.
z Accidental activation of the reserve inside the aircraft with doors closed: if a reserve is activated
when jumpers are inside the aircraft and the doors are closed, jumpers sound off with “RESERVE,
RESERVE, RESERVE.” Once the parachute is contained, one of the jumpers alerts the
jumpmasters’ by placing their hand or arm over an anchor line cable. The jumpmaster then
replaces that reserve with a new one and the Airborne operation continues.
0DUFK TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010, C1 E-3

Appendix E
z Accidental activation of the reserve inside aircraft with doors open: if a reserve is activated when
jumpers are inside the aircraft and the doors are open, jumpers who are forward of the wheel well
(towards the pilots compartment) sound off, “RESERVE, RESERVE, RESERVE.” Once the
parachute is contained, one of the jumpers alerts the jumpmasters by placing their hand or arm
over the anchor line cable. The jumpmasters close the jump doors, then replace that reserve with
a new one, and jumpers will exit the aircraft on the next pass. If jumpers are aft of the wheel well
(toward jump doors) or center mass aft towards the paratroop door on a C-17, every attempt is
made to contain the parachute. If the reserve starts to snake towards the jump door, the jumper
exits the aircraft immediately. Jumpers in front of the activated reserve clear a path for the jumper
by either exiting the aircraft, standing on their seat, or moving onto the ramp.
z Fire during flight: if jumpers are inside the aircraft and hear an oral warning of a fire while in
flight, they move from the area, and the loadmasters attempt to extinguish the fire. Jumpers should
be prepared to execute bailout procedures if instructed to do so.
z Bailout, or three short rings of alarm bell, or oral warning: if jumpers are inside the aircraft and
they hear three short rings of the alarm bell or an oral warning, there is an emergency bailout. The
jumpmasters issue shortened jump commands “STAND UP, HOOK UP” on the continuous ring;
jumpers will exit the aircraft under the direction of the PJM.
E-12. Jumpers must make a minimum of two exits with the last exit as planned for the Airborne operation.
All topics must be covered and tailored to the aircraft used for the operation.
PREJUMP TRAINING
E-13. Prior to prejump training, place the jumpers into a formation that allows the jumpmaster to easily
control them and make on-the-spot corrections. The extended rectangular formation and the horseshoe
formation are the two preferred configurations. It is recommended that the jumpers be placed at double-arm
intervals to allow the jumpmasters to easily move through the formation.
E-14. Prior to placing the jumpers into formation, ensure the jumpmaster team inspects the helmets,
identification cards, and tags. The jumpmasters or the safeties can accomplish this inspection.
E-15. Although prejump can be given by anyone on the jumpmaster team, the primary jumpmaster can
delegate authority, but not responsibility. Holding, running, and other information can be inserted into
prejump as the Airborne commander sees fit.
E-16. Although prejump training should be tailored to fit the mission, emergency landings are always
covered due to the many variables involved in emergency situations, such as jumpers having to conduct an
emergency bailout over unfamiliar terrain.
E-17. Prejump training is performance-oriented training, and the jumpmaster team ensures that the jumpers
are performing the actions as they are being covered. During prejump training, use the “HIT IT”
exercise as often as needed to keep the jumpers actively involved. Jumpmasters will refer to their unit SOPs
for additional guidance.
T-11 PREJUMP
E-18. The five points of performance are performance-oriented training and individual actions that are
essential on every parachute jump. Each of the points, specific to the T-11 ATPS, are described in this section.
Failure to perform any one point correctly could result in a jump injury. The following instructions are issued
from the jumpmaster’s point of view.
E-19. “The first point of performance is PROPER EXIT, CHECK BODY POSITION, and COUNT.
JUMPERS HIT IT. Upon exiting the aircraft, snap into a good tight body position. Keep your eyes open, chin
on your chest, elbows tight into your sides, hands on the end of the reserve, with your fingers spread. Bend
forward at the waist, keeping your feet and knees together, knees locked to the rear, and count to 6000.”
E-20. “At the end of your 6000 count, immediately go into your second point of performance, CHECK
CANOPY AND GAIN CANOPY CONTROL. Reach up to the elbow-locked position and secure the front
set of risers in each hand, simultaneously conducting a 360-degree check of your canopy. Your slider will be
( TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010 2FWREHU

6XVWDLQHG$LUERUQH7UDLQLQJ
fully extended and begin to slide down the suspension lines. If, during your second point of performance,
you find that you have twists, you must compare your rate of descent with your fellow jumpers. If you are
falling faster than your fellow jumpers or you cannot compare your rate of descent with fellow jumpers,
immediately activate your reserve parachutes using the pull drop method. If you are not falling faster than
fellow jumpers, reach up and grasp a set of risers in each hand, thumbs down, knuckles to the rear. Pull the
risers apart and begin a vigorous bicycling motion. When the last twist comes out, immediately check canopy
and gain canopy control.”
E-21. “Your third point of performance is KEEP A SHARP LOOKOUT AT ALL TIMES and
CONSTANTLY COMPARE YOUR RATE OF DESCENT. Remember the three rules of the air and repeat
them after me. ALWAYS LOOK BEFORE YOU SLIP, ALWAYS SLIP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
TO AVOID COLLISION, and THE LOWER JUMPER ALWAYS HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY. Avoid
fellow jumpers all the way to the ground by maintaining a 25-foot separation and continue to compare your
rate of descent with fellow jumpers. During your third point of performance, release all appropriate
equipment tie-downs.”
E-22. “This brings you to your fourth point of performance, which is PREPARE TO LAND. At
approximately 100 feet above ground level or treetop level, look below you to ensure there are no fellow
jumpers and lower your equipment, then slip into the wind. Attempt to utilize the slip assist loops or slip
assist tabs and execute a one-riser slip opposite your direction of drift. You will execute a one-riser slip by
grabbing 1-3 arm lengths depending on the wind. If the wind is blowing from your left, reach up with your
left hand and grab either riser on the left side and pull a 1-3, arm length slip deep into your chest. If the wind
is blowing from your front, reach up with either hand and grab either riser on the front side and pull a 1-3, arm
length slip deep into your chest. If the wind is blowing from your right, reach up with your right hand and
grab either riser on the right side and pull a 1-3, arm length slip deep into your chest. If the wind is blowing
from your rear, reach up with either hand and grab either riser on the rear side and pull a 1-3, arm length slip
deep into your chest. If you decide to pull a two-riser slip, secure the risers opposite your direction of drift
and hold them deep into your chest. After you have slipped into the wind, you will assume a landing attitude
by keeping your feet and knees together, knees slightly bent, elbows tight into your sides, with your head and
eyes on the horizon. When the balls of your feet make contact with the ground, put your chin down to your
chest and execute a proper parachute landing fall.”
E-23. “The fifth point of performance is LAND. You will make a proper parachute landing fall by hitting
all five points of contact. Touch them, and repeat them after me. One, BALLS OF YOUR FEET; two, CALF;
three, THIGH; four, BUTTOCKS; and five, PULL UP MUSCLE. You will never attempt to make a standing
landing.”
E-24. “Remain on the ground and activate both of your canopy release assemblies using either the “hand to
shoulder” method or the “hand assist” method. To activate your canopy release assembly using the “hand to
shoulder” method, reach up with either hand and grasp the corresponding safety clip. Pull out and down on
the safety clip, exposing the cable loop. Insert the thumb, from bottom to top, through the cable loop. Turn
your head in the opposite direction, and pull out and down on the cable loop. To activate your canopy release
assembly using the “hand assist” method, reach up and grasp the corresponding safety clip. Pull out and down
on the safety clip, exposing the cable loop. Insert the thumb, from bottom to top, through the cable loop.
Reinforce that hand with the other. Turn your head in the opposite direction, and pull out and down on the
cable loop. Place your weapon into operation and remove the parachute harness.”
E-25. “The next item I will cover is RECOVERY OF EQUIPMENT. Once you are out of the parachute
harness, remove all air items from the equipment rings. Unzip and turn the universal parachutist recovery
bag right side out. Place the parachute harness inside the universal parachutist recovery bag with the smooth
side facing up. Secure the risers and place them under the parachute harness.”
E-26. Nontactical: “Elongate the suspension lines and canopy, removing all debris. Once you reach the bridle
line, secure the drogue parachute and deployment sleeve in one hand and begin to figure-eight roll your
canopy and suspension lines all the way to the UPRB, leaving the drogue parachute, deployment sleeve, and
bridle assembly on top of the main canopy.”
E-27. Tactical: “Remain on a knee at the universal parachutist recovery bag. Begin pulling the suspension
lines and canopy towards the universal parachutist recovery bag, stuffing them in as you go. Place the drogue

Appendix E
parachute, deployment sleeve, and bridle assembly on top of the main canopy. Snap, do not zip, the universal
parachutist recovery bag. Place the reserve parachute in the reserve parachute stowage pocket. Secure all of
your equipment, conduct a 360-degree check of your area, and move out to your assembly area.”
E-28. “The next item I will cover is the ACTIVATION OF THE T-11 RESERVE PARACHUTE. To
activate the T-11 reserve parachute, you will use the pull drop method. JUMPERS HIT IT, maintain a good,
tight body position. Grasp the rip cord handle with either hand. Throw your head back and to the rear, pull
out on the rip cord handle, and drop it. Your reserve parachute will activate. Ensure neither hand is in front
of the reserve parachute as it deploys. After you activate your T-11 reserve parachute, secure the reserve
risers. At approximately 200 feet above ground level, slip into the wind, and prepare to land.”
E-29. “The next item I will cover is TOWED JUMPER PROCEDURES. JUMPERS HIT IT. If you become
a towed jumper, and are being towed by your universal static line modified and are unconscious; you will be
retrieved back inside the aircraft. If you are conscious, maintain a good tight body position with both hands
covering your rip cord handle and an attempt will be made to retrieve you inside the aircraft. As you near the
paratroop door, DO NOT REACH FOR US, continue to protect your rip cord handle. If you cannot be
retrieved, your universal static line modified will be cut. Once you feel yourself falling free from the aircraft,
count to 600 and activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop method. If you are being towed by your
equipment, regardless of whether you are conscious or unconscious, that item of equipment will be cut or
jogged free, and your main canopy will deploy.”
E-30. “The next item I will cover is MALFUNCTIONS. Remember to continue to check your canopy for
any damage or irregularities and compare your rate of descent throughout your entire jump. If at any time
you cannot compare your rate of descent or you are falling faster than your fellow jumpers, immediately
activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop method.”
E-31. “The next item I will cover is COLLISIONS AND ENTANGLEMENTS. JUMPERS HIT IT. CHECK
CANOPY AND GAIN CANOPY CONTROL. If you see another jumper approaching, immediately look,
and then slip away. If you cannot avoid the collision, assume a spread eagle body position and attempt to
bounce off the jumper’s canopy or suspension lines and immediately look, and then slip away. If you pass
through the suspension lines, snap into a modified position of attention. With either hand protect your rip
cord handle. With the opposite hand attempt to weave your way out of the suspension lines the same way
you entered. Once clear, immediately look then slip away. If you become entangled, the higher jumper will
climb down to the lower jumper using the hand under hand method. Once both jumpers are even, they will
face each other and grasp each other’s left main lift web. Both jumpers will discuss which PLF they will
execute. Both jumpers will conduct the same PLF. Neither jumper will execute a front PLF. Both jumpers
will continue to observe their canopies all the way to the ground. If one canopy collapses both jumpers will
ride the one good canopy all the way to the ground. If both canopies collapse, both jumpers will immediately
turn away, in order to create a clear path, and activate their reserve parachute using the pull drop method.
Should you find yourself on another jumper’s canopy, without rolling, use whatever means necessary to get
off of the canopy and immediately activate your reserve parachute. Attempt to avoid the four corner vents on
the canopy. Should you fall through a corner vent, stay where you are and be prepared to conduct a PLF. If
you have another jumper on top of your canopy, continually compare your rate of descent. If you are falling
faster than fellow jumpers, immediately activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop method.”
E-32. “The next item I will cover is EMERGENCY LANDINGS. The first emergency landing I will cover
is the TREE LANDING. If you are drifting toward the trees, immediately look then slip away. If you cannot
avoid the trees and have lowered your equipment, look below you to ensure there are no fellow jumpers, and
jettison your equipment making a mental note of where it lands. If you have not lowered your equipment,
keep it on you to provide extra protection while passing through the trees. At approximately 200 feet above
ground level, assume a good landing attitude by keeping your feet and knees together, knees slightly bent,
and chin on your chest. When you make contact with the trees, rotate your hands in front of your face with
your elbows high. Be prepared to execute a proper PLF if you pass through the trees. If you get hung up in
the trees and you do not feel you can safely lower yourself to the ground, stay where you are and wait for
assistance.”
E-33. “If you decide to climb down, jettison all unneeded equipment. Ensure that you maintain your helmet.
Activate the quick release in your waistband. With either hand, apply inward pressure on the rip cord
assembly. With the opposite hand remove the top tuck tab. Maintain steady inward pressure and with the
E-6 TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010, C1 0DUFK

opposite hand insert it behind the rip cord assembly and apply inward pressure. Grasp the rip cord handle
with the opposite hand, pull it and drop it. With both hands, control the activation of the reserve parachute to
the ground ensuring that all suspension lines and risers are completely deployed. Disconnect the left
connector snap and rotate the reserve to the right. Attach the left connector snap to the triangle link on your
right side. Seat yourself well into the saddle. Activate the quick release in the chest strap and completely
remove the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter. Grasp the right main lift web with either hand
below the canopy release assembly and with the other hand activate the leg strap ejector snaps and climb
down the outside of the reserve parachute. Caution must be taken when climbing down the T-11 reserve
suspension lines because of the slippery coating applied to the suspension lines. Remember, when in doubt,
stay where you are and wait for assistance.”
E-34. “The next emergency landing I will cover is the WIRE LANDING. If you are drifting towards wires,
immediately look and try to slip away. If you cannot avoid the wires, look below you to ensure there are no
fellow jumpers and jettison your equipment, making a mental note of where it lands. Ensure that you maintain
your helmet. Assume a landing attitude by keeping your feet and knees together, exaggerating the bend in
your knees, eyes open, chin on your chest with your back arched. Place the palms of your hands high on the
inside of the front set of risers with the elbows locked. When you make contact with the wires, begin a
vigorous rocking motion in an attempt to pass through the wires. Be prepared to execute a proper PLF in the
event you pass through the wires. If you get hung up in the wires, do not attempt to lower yourself to the
ground. Stay where you are and wait for assistance.”
E-35. “The next emergency landing I will cover is the WATER LANDING. If you are drifting towards a
body of water, immediately look then slip away. If you cannot avoid the water, look below you to ensure
there are no fellow jumpers and lower your equipment. Next, jettison your helmet, making a mental note of
where it lands. Activate the quick release in the waistband. Disconnect the left connector snap and rotate the
reserve parachute to the right. Seat yourself well into the saddle and activate the quick release in the chest
strap, completely removing the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter. Regain canopy control. Prior
to entering the water, assume a landing attitude by keeping your feet and knees together, knees slightly bent,
and place your hands on both leg strap ejector snaps. When the balls of your feet make contact with the water,
activate both leg strap ejector snaps, arch your back, throw your arms above your head, and slide out of the
parachute harness. Be prepared to execute a proper PLF if the water is shallow. Swim upwind, or upstream,
away from the canopy. If the canopy comes down on top of you, locate a seam, and follow it to the skirt of
the canopy.”
E-36. “The next item I will cover is LIFE PRESERVERS. When jumping a life preserver and you are unable
to slip away from the water, lower your combat equipment, activate your life preserver, then jettison your
combat equipment prior to making contact with the water. Be prepared to execute a proper PLF if the water
is shallow. Once in the water, activate both canopy release assemblies.”
E-37. “The next item I will cover is NIGHT JUMPS. When conducting night jumps, be sure to give your
canopy an extra look if you have any reason to believe you are falling faster than fellow jumpers immediately
activate your reserve parachute. Maintain noise discipline and a good interval between fellow jumpers. Be
prepared to conduct a PLF because you will hit the ground approximately five to 10 seconds before you think
you will.”
E-38. “The next item I will cover is instrument meteorological conditions. When jumping under IMC, do
not lower your equipment until you have passed through the clouds. Do not slip unless you have to avoid a
collision. If you have any type of malfunction or any reason to believe you are falling faster than fellow
jumpers, immediately activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop method because you cannot
compare your rate of descent with fellow jumpers. Ensure you recheck your canopy once you pass through
the clouds.”
E-39. “The final item I will cover is PARACHUTE LANDING FALLS. We will now move to the PLF
platform and conduct one satisfactory PLF in each of the four directions.”

Appendix E
MC-6 PREJUMP
E-40. The five points of performance are performance oriented training and individual actions that are
essential on every parachute jump. Each of the points specific to the MC-6 series parachute are described in
this section. Failure to perform any one point correctly could result in a jump injury. The following
instructions are issued from the jumpmaster’s point of view.
E-41. “The first point of performance is PROPER EXIT, CHECK BODY POSITION, and COUNT.
JUMPERS HIT IT. Upon exiting the aircraft, snap into a good tight body position. Keep your eyes open, chin
on your chest, elbows tight into your sides, hands on the end of the reserve, with your fingers spread. Bend
forward at the waist keeping your feet and knees together, knees locked to the rear, and count to 4000.”
E-42. “At the end of your 4000 count, immediately go into your second point of performance, CHECK
CANOPY and GAIN CANOPY CONTROL. When jumping the MC-6 series parachute, secure a toggle in
each hand and pull them down to eye level, simultaneously conducting a 360-degree check of your canopy.
If during your second point of performance you find that you have twists, you must compare your rate of
decent with your fellow jumpers. If you are falling faster than your fellow jumpers or you cannot compare
your rate of descent with fellow jumpers, immediately activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop
method. If you are not falling faster than fellow jumpers, then reach up and grasp a set of risers in each hand,
thumbs down, knuckles to the rear. Pull the risers apart and begin a vigorous bicycling motion. When the last
twist comes out, immediately check canopy and gain canopy control.”
E-43. “Your third point of performance is KEEP A SHARP LOOKOUT AT ALL TIMES and
CONSTANTLY COMPARE YOUR RATE OF DESCENT. Remember the three rules of the air and repeat
them after me. ALWAYS LOOK BEFORE YOU TURN, ALWAYS TURN IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION TO AVOID COLLISIONS, and THE LOWER JUMPER ALWAYS HAS THE RIGHT OF
WAY. Avoid fellow jumpers all the way to the ground by maintaining a 50-foot separation and continue to
compare your rate of descent with fellow jumpers.”
E-44. “This brings you to your fourth point of performance which is PREPARE TO LAND. At
approximately 250 feet above ground level, determine your direction of drift. If the wind is blowing from
your left, pull your left toggle down to the elbow locked position. One you are facing into the wind, let up
slowly to prevent oscillation. If the wind is blowing from your right, pull your right toggle down to the elbow
locked position. Once you are facing into the wind, let up slowly to prevent oscillation. If the wind is blowing
from your rear, pull either toggle down to the elbow locked position. Once you are facing into the wind, let
up slowly to prevent oscillation. If the wind is blowing from your front, make minor corrections to remain
facing into the wind. Look below you to ensure there are no fellow jumpers. Transfer control of one toggle
to the opposite hand, so that the other hand is controlling both toggles in front of your face. With the free
hand, release all appropriate equipment tie-downs, and lower your combat equipment. Now regain canopy
control with both hands. Assume a proper prepare to land attitude by pulling the toggles to the appropriate
break position. After you have turned into the wind, you will assume a landing attitude by keeping your feet
and knees together, knees slightly bent, elbows tight into your sides, with your head and eyes on the horizon.
When the balls of your feet make contact with the ground, put your chin down to your chest and execute a
proper parachute landing fall.”
E-45. “The fifth point of performance is LAND. You will make a proper parachute landing fall by hitting all
five points of contact. Touch them and repeat them after me. One, BALLS OF YOUR FEET; two, CALF;
three, THIGH; four, BUTTOCKS; and five, PULL UP MUSCLE. You will never attempt to make a standing
landing.”
E-46. “Remain on the ground, and activate one of your canopy release assemblies using either the hand to
shoulder method, or the hand assist method. To activate your canopy release assembly using the hand to
shoulder method, reach up with either hand and grasp the corresponding safety clip. Pull out and down on
the safety clip exposing the cable loop. Insert your thumb, from bottom to top, through the cable loop. Turn
your head in the opposite direction and pull out and down on the cable loop. To activate your canopy release
assembly using the hand assist method, reach up and grasp the corresponding safety clip. Pull out and down
on the safety clip exposing the cable loop. Insert your thumb, from bottom to top, through the cable loop.
Reinforce that hand with the other. Turn your head in the opposite direction and pull out and down on the

cable loop. If your canopy fails to deflate, activate the other canopy release assembly. Place your weapon
into operation and remove the parachute harness.”
E-47. “The next item I will cover is RECOVERY OF EQUIPMENT. Once you are out of the parachute
harness, remove all air items from the equipment rings. Unzip and turn the universal parachutist recovery
bag right side out. Place the parachute harness inside the universal parachutist recovery bag with the smooth
side facing up and leave the waistband exposed. Secure the risers and place them under the parachute
harness.”
E-48. Nontactical: “Elongate the suspension lines and canopy removing all debris. Once you reach the bridle
loop, insert your thumb in the bridle loop and begin to figure-eight roll your canopy and suspension lines all
the way to the universal parachutist recovery bag. Route the waistband through the bridle loop, leaving six
to eight inches of the waistband exposed.”
E-49. Tactical: “Remain on a knee at the universal parachutist recovery bag. Begin pulling the suspension
lines and canopy towards the universal parachutist recovery bag, stuffing them in as you go. Route the
waistband through the bridle loop leaving six to eight inches of the waistband exposed.”
E-50. “Snap, do not zip, the universal parachutist recovery bag. Place the reserve parachute in the reserve
parachute stowage pocket. Secure all of your equipment, conduct a 360-degree check of your area, and move
out to your assembly area.”
E-51. “The next item I will cover is the ACTIVATION OF THE T-11 RESERVE PARACHUTE.” To
activate the T-11 reserve parachute, you will use the pull drop method. JUMPERS HIT IT. Maintain a good,
tight body position. Grasp the rip cord handle with either hand. Throw your head back and to the rear, pull
out on the rip cord handle, and drop it. Your reserve parachute will activate. Ensure neither hand is in front
of the reserve parachute as it deploys. After you activate your T-11 reserve parachute, secure the reserve
risers. At approximately 200 feet above ground level, slip into the wind, and prepare to land.”
E-52. “The next item I will cover is TOWED JUMPER PROCEDURES.” JUMPERS HIT IT. If you are
being towed by your universal static line modified and are unconscious you will be retrieved back inside the
aircraft. If you are conscious, maintain a good, tight body position with both hands covering your rip cord
handle. An attempt will be made to retrieve you inside the aircraft. As you near the paratroop door, do not
reach for us, but continue to protect your rip cord handle. If you cannot be retrieved, your universal static
line modified will be cut. Once you feel yourself falling free from the aircraft, count to 4000 and activate
your reserve parachute using the pull drop method. If you are being towed by your equipment, regardless of
whether you are conscious or unconscious, that item of equipment will be cut or jogged free, and your main
canopy will deploy.”
E-53. “The next item I will cover is MALFUNCTIONS. Remember to continue to check your canopy for
any damage or irregularities and compare your rate of descent throughout your entire jump. If at any time
you cannot compare your rate of descent or you are falling faster than your fellow jumpers, immediately
activate your reserve parachute using the pull drop method. If the MC-6 canopy becomes inverted, pulling a
toggle will turn you in the opposite direction. Do not activate your reserve parachute unless the canopy was
damaged during inversion. If you have broken control lines, you must use your rear risers to turn.”
E-54. “The next item I will cover is COLLISIONS AND ENTANGLEMENTS. JUMPERS HIT IT. CHECK
CANOPY and GAIN CANOPY CONTROL. If you see another jumper approaching, immediately look, and
then turn away. If you cannot avoid the collision, assume a spread eagle body position and attempt to bounce
off the jumper’s canopy or suspension lines, then immediately look, and then turn away. If you pass through
the suspension lines and you do become entangled, snap into a modified position of attention. With either
hand protect your rip cord handle. With the opposite hand, attempt to weave your way out of the suspension
lines the same way you entered. Once clear, immediately look then turn away. If you become hopelessly
entangled, both jumpers will remain where they are, obtain a clear path, and immediately activate their
reserve parachutes using the pull drop method.”
E-55. “The next item I will cover is EMERGENCY LANDINGS. The first emergency landing I will
cover is the TREE LANDING. If you are drifting towards the trees, immediately look, then turn away. If
you cannot avoid the trees, and have lowered your equipment, look below you to ensure there are no fellow

Activate the quick release in your waistband. With either hand, apply inward pressure on the rip cord
assembly. With the opposite hand, remove the top tuck tab. Maintain steady inward pressure and with the
opposite hand insert it behind the rip cord assembly and apply inward pressure. Grasp the rip cord handle
with the opposite hand, pull it and drop it. With both hands, control the activation of the reserve parachute to
the ground, ensuring that all suspension lines and risers are completely deployed. Disconnect the left
connector snap and rotate the reserve to the right. Attach the left connector snap to the triangle link on your
right side. Seat yourself well into the saddle. Activate the quick release in the chest strap and completely
remove the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter. Grasp the right main lift web with either hand
below the canopy release assembly, and with the other hand activate the leg strap ejector snaps and climb
down the outside of the reserve parachute. Caution must be taken when climbing down the T-11 reserve
suspension lines because of the slippery coating applied to the suspension lines. Remember, when in doubt,
stay where you are and wait for assistance.”

E-58. “The next emergency landing I will cover is the WATER LANDING. If you are drifting towards a
body of water, immediately look, then turn away. If you cannot avoid the water, look below you to
ensure there are no fellow jumpers and lower your equipment. Next, jettison your helmet, making a mental
note of where it lands. Activate the quick release in the waistband. Disconnect the left connector snap and
rotate the reserve parachute to the right. Seat yourself well into the saddle. Activate the quick release in the
chest strap, completely removing the chest strap from the chest strap friction adapter. Regain canopy control.
Prior to entering the water, assume a landing attitude by keeping your feet and knees together, knees slightly

platform and conduct one satisfactory PLF in each of the four directions.”

Appendix F
Collisions, Entanglements, and Center Panel Strike
Leaders at all levels must stress the importance of prevention in regards to collisions,
entanglements, and the center panel strike (T-11 ATPS only); this is key to avoiding
situations where emergency procedures are executed. Leaders ensure that all jumpers
know the proper emergency procedures discussed in this appendix before executing
any static line personnel operations.
Jumpmaster teams control jumper spacing and the flow of jumpers during exiting
procedures to avoid simultaneous exits. This leads to acceptable jumper dispersion in
the air and aids jumpers in avoidance measures.
All jumpers must maintain a 25-foot separation between jumpers when jumping the T-
11 ATPS and use a one riser or diagonal slip to avoid other jumpers in the air and
obstacles on the ground. Jumpers maintain a 50-foot separation when jumping the
MC-6 parachute and use good toggle control to avoid other jumpers in the air and
obstacles on the ground. In some situations, collisions and entanglements and a center
panel strike cannot be avoided. This appendix covers the following emergency
procedures:
z Collisions and entanglements with the T-11 and MC-6 parachutes.
z Center panel strike with the T-11 parachute.
COLLISIONS AND ENTANGLEMENTS

F-1. A collision is the physical impact or contact, however slight, of one jumper or jumper’s equipment
with that of another jumper, but both jumpers separate prior to making contact with the ground. An
entanglement is the entwining or attachment of a jumper or jumper’s equipment with that of another jumper
during descent, whether or not the entanglement lasts until the jumpers contact the ground.
F-2. Jumpers must be alert in the air and warn each other of impending collisions. If a collision cannot be
avoided by slipping or turning, jumpers attempt to bounce off the other jumpers’ suspension lines or canopies
by spreading their arms and legs just before making contact.
F-3. If a jumper becomes entangled with one or more suspension lines of another parachute, the jumper
does one of the following, depending on the type of parachute being used and the incident altitudes:
z High altitude occurs from aircraft exit throughout full canopy deployment (first point of
performance).
z Mid altitude occurs after full canopy deployment throughout descent to the preparation for landing
altitude designated for the type of parachute used (second and third points of performance).
z Low altitude occurs from the preparation for landing altitude throughout descent to landing (fourth
point of performance).
T-11 PARACHUTE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

F-4. In the event of an entanglement, the following actions should be taken:
z If a jumper is jumping with the T-11 parachute and becomes entangled, the higher jumper climbs
down to the lower jumper using the hand-under-hand method. The jumper must stay away from
the corner vents located on all four corners of the canopy, and the bridle line on top of the canopy.
0DUFK TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010, C1 F-1

Appendix F
Should the jumper fall through a vent or become entangled in the bridle line, the jumper should
stay in place and be prepared to execute a proper PLF.
z Once both jumpers are even, they face each other and grasp each other’s left main lift web. Both
jumpers continue to observe both canopies and take one of the following actions:
If one canopy collapses, neither jumper will activate their reserve parachute because one
T-11 series parachute can safely deliver two combat-equipped jumpers to the ground.
If both canopies should collapse, both jumpers immediately turn away from each other to
create a clear path, and activate their reserve parachute using the pull drop method.
z Both jumpers discuss which PLF to execute.
z Both jumpers conduct the same PLF.
z Neither jumper executes a front PLF.
z A jumper who finds them self on another jumper’s canopy, without rolling, uses whatever means
necessary to get off of the canopy and immediately activate the reserve parachute using the pull
drop method. If a lower jumper has another jumper on top of their canopy, continually compare
the rate of descent of both jumpers. If the lower jumper is falling faster than fellow jumpers, the
lower jumper immediately activates the reserve parachute using the pull drop method.
z Remember to stay away from the four corner vents located at the corners of the canopy.
z A jumpers who falls through the vent should stay in place and be prepared to execute a proper
PLF.
CENTER PANEL STRIKE

F-5. A center panel strike occurs when a jumper finds them self on top of another jumper’s canopy at any
time during their second, third, and fourth point of performance. The two jumpers handle the situation by
following these procedures:
z Actions of the higher jumper:
z If the higher jumper is drifting toward a fellow jumper, the higher jumper should look and
immediately slip away in the opposite direction of the lower jumper using a one riser diagonal
slip.
z If a higher jumper is drifting over a lower jumper's canopy and may land on top of it; prior to
making contact with the canopy, the higher jumper begins a vigorous running motion in the
direction of their slip, attempting to stay on their feet, until the higher jumper is off the lower
jumper's canopy. The higher jumper continues to slip away until a minimum of 25 feet of
separation has been achieved.
z If the higher jumper lands on the lower jumper's canopy and cannot run off, it is vital to
maintain momentum. This should allow the higher jumper to remain on their feet and attempt
to get off the closest edge of the canopy, as momentum allows. If the higher jumper cannot
stay on their feet, the higher jumper should employ a crawling technique by reaching as far
as possible in the direction of the closest edge of the canopy. The higher jumper should grasp
the canopy and continue to pull using the hand-over-hand method until free from the lower
jumper's canopy. Once the higher jumper is falling free, they create a clear and unobstructed
path, then activate the reserve parachute using the pull drop method. Keep the feet and knees
together and be prepared to execute a parachute landing fall.
WARNING
Jumpers should not attempt to roll off the canopy as this could
wrap the suspension line around their bodies, preventing the main
canopy from re-inflating and preventing the deployment of the
reserve.
F-2 TC 3-21.220/MCWP 3-115.7/AFMAN 11-420/NAVSEA SS400-AF-MMO-010 24 October 2018

z Actions of the lower jumper:

At the end of the lower jumpers’ 6000 count, they immediately begin the second point of
performance, check canopy and gain canopy control.
They then conduct a 360-degree check of their canopy to ensure the canopy is free of any
damage or fellow jumpers, and the slider is descending.
If there is damage to the canopy or a jumper on top, the lower jumpers compares their rate of
descent with their fellow jumpers. If lower jumpers are falling faster than their fellow jumpers,
they immediately activate the reserve parachute using the pull drop method.
If the lower jumper has a jumper on top of their canopy and the lower jumper is not falling
faster than their fellow jumpers, they continue to observe their canopy. If at any time the
lower jumpers’ main parachutes begin to deflate, they immediately activate the reserve
parachutes using the pull drop method.
If the higher jumper slides off of the lower jumper’s canopy, the lower jumper uses a one riser
diagonal slip in the opposite direction to avoid fellow jumpers.
WARNING
When slipping away from fellow jumpers, always use a diagonal
slip. If the higher jumper should fall through a corner vent, they
should remain where they are and be prepared to conduct a
parachute landing fall.
MC-6 PARACHUTE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

F-6. A collision is the physical impact or contact, however slight, of one jumper or jumpers’ equipment
with that of another jumper, but both jumpers separate prior to making contact with the ground. An
entanglement is the entwining or attachment of a jumper or jumper’s equipment with that of another jumper
during descent, whether or not the entanglement lasts until the jumpers make contact with the ground.
F-7. Jumpers must be alert in the air and warn each other of impending collisions. If a collision cannot be
avoided by turning away, the jumper should take the following actions:
Assume a spread eagle position.
Attempt to bounce off the other jumper’s canopy and suspension lines and immediately turn away
to regain the 50-foot separation.
F-8. If a jumper becomes entangled with one or more suspension lines of another parachute, BOTH jumpers
take the following actions:
Remain where they are.
Obtain a clear path.
Immediately activate their reserve parachute using the pull drop method
