Description:

The U.S. Army in the 1950s incorporated stablizing the body in free fall as perfected by Jacque Istel to enable exits from aircraft at higher speeds and altitudes than by static lines and deployment bags opening the parachute after exit. This expertise is embodied by successive generations of U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team victories in world competitions. The problem is that military free fall (MFF) using body position control requires skills and a conscious Paratrooper and has limits on the amount of equipment that can be attached. The Russians came to a different and better conclusion to unclutter aircraft upon exiting and get HALO/HAHO capabilities--deploy a small pilot or drogue chute to stabilize the body in free fall. Drogue chutes are now standard for tandem jumps when another person is attached to even the most skilled stabilized body position jumper. www.combatreform.com/T-21.htm So, if we are already using drogue chutes for tandem MFF jumps, why not ALL THE TIME? Applying the Russian drogue chute system to our new T-11 parachutes would enable us to jump IN FRONT OF C-17 engines if side jump doors were fitted there as 3 x M113 Gavin light tank/APCs on platforms roll-out the rear ramp for tighter assembly on the ground below. Another option would be to follow the Gavins out the rear ramp using the drogue chute to deploy the main canopy. The video shows a high altitude delayed opening (HALO) jump which is great to stay above enemy air defensive fires and/or sneak in undetected. We can have THOUSANDS of Paratroopers doing the same thing for high-altitude mass-tac Airborne operations if we employed drogue chutes instead of trying to make everyone a civilian sky diver. What gets the job done BEST is what matters not who is more-Airborne-than-thou. www.combatreform.com/highaltitudemasstac.htm There is a lot to learn from our former and even current human enemies. Let's not let our AmeroFascist arrogance blind us to good ideas and practices wherever they come from as long as they are not immoral.

The recruiter's gambit is always to show exciting things only a few do to get you stuck doing dirty work; marines claim to be airborne when only a few sub-units jump etc.
