    A British Army Jump Master with Charlie (Bruneval) Company, 2 PARA checks the parachute of Maj. Gen. Andrew M. Rohling, Southern European Task Force, Africa's Commander before a sustainment airborne operation into Juliet Drop Zone, Italy, June 3, 2021. These checks ensure the equipment is rigged, worn and fitted correctly to the jumper ensuring their safety as they exit an aircraft hundreds of feet in the air.
