US Army Rangers from the 5th Ranger Training Battalion prepare to take off for their quarterly mandatory jump from a Blackhawk. Jumpmasters thoroughly inspect paratroopers prior to them stepping foot onto an aircraft in order to ensure their parachute is to standard before they jump. The inspection is done each time a paratrooper puts on a parachute prior to jumping.
