U.S. Army Paratroopers assigned to 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) conduct airborne operations from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, September 26, 2025.
The footage shows Paratroopers conducting safety briefings, donning parachutes, performing Jumpmaster Personnel Inspections (JMPI), loading into the aircraft, and executing static line jumps from the Black Hawk. Paratroopers exit the helicopter, canopies deploy, and personnel recover on the drop zone.
This training maintains the unit’s airborne proficiency, enhances rapid insertion capabilities, and ensures 7th SFG(A) operators remain ready to deploy by air anywhere in the world.
