Military free-fall parachuting

Military free-fall parachuting is a precise form of parachuting where trained personnel exit an aircraft and descend freely under gravity, without a static line or automatic deployment device. It allows for high-altitude, stealthy insertions into operational areas, often at altitudes above 25,000 feet. Jumpers typically wear specialized suits and masks to survive the cold and oxygen-deprived environment. They control their descent and canopy deployment through body positioning, ensuring accurate landing zones. Military free-fall requires rigorous training, skill, and coordination, enabling rapid, flexible deployment for tactical missions in challenging environments.
