    Paratroopers jump from the tailgate of a C-130 Hercules Airplane during the XVIII Airborne Corps Commanding General's Retention Incentive Jump on Fort Bragg, N.C., June 11. The rare tailgate jump was the reward for the approximately 400 paratroopers to reenlist into the Army. "This jump was all about showing the Soldiers you care," said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Michael Sanders, the senior interrogator with the XVIII Corps. "What makes this jump special is because with everything going on these, Soldiers agree to stay Army and be Airborne."
