What is Rough Terrain Jumping?
ROUGH TERRAIN JUMPING provides the commander with the ability to insert engineers in uneven, wooded terrain devoid of a cleared drop zone or other austere environments in order to perform a variety of missions.
Missions include but are not limited to: clearing landing zones, developing hasty blocking positions, conducting deep engineer raids or supporting light infantry forces.
Rough terrain jumping is defined as a static line parachute operation onto an austere drop zone, wearing special equipment to protect the body and to safely lower the jumper who is hung in trees.
