    A military static-line parachute jump is captured from inside the aircraft looking outward and downward. Multiple paratroopers are visible at various stages of exit, with static lines still attached to the aircraft's anchor line cable. Several partially deployed parachutes are visible below, indicating a sequential stick jump over what appears to be a coastal or water-adjacent drop zone.

    A Texas Army National Guardsman with Special Operations Detachment - Africa, 71st Troop Command, jumps into the waters off of Key West, Fla., July 24, 2015. The jump, was part of a long-range, airborne water insertion and a culmination of three years of planning with active duty Army Special Forces, Air Force, Navy and U.S. Coast Guard to ensure that SOD-A always has trained and deployable personnel to conduct the many real world missions it is called upon to execute.
