Army Paratrooper
Friday, April 23rd, 2010When do army paratroopers jump during there tour in iraq?
when are the times they actually jump during there deployment? because im pretty sure its not like band of brothers anymore where there are major jump missions during the war..so can anyone please tell me when ''Army Paratroopers'' actually make jumps during modern-warfare?? thanks
The 173rd Airborne Brigade jumped into Iraq at the start of the war.
Special Forces and certain Ranger units also jumped into both Iraq and Afghanistan.
The 82nd has not done a combat jump as a division or brigade size in that theater, although certain members of the 82nd may have jumped on some operations with others (3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, who jumped in Afghanistan in February 2003). But they certainly can and will if needed.
**funny how the "wanna-bees" out there give you the thumbs down... everything I said is true - go look it up yourself.
