CRG jumpmasters support bilateral exercise ADR 22-4 Story and photos by Staff Sgt. Gabrielle Spalding 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Their demeanor was attentive, patient, and focused as they went through the required safety checks prior to the jump. Each seatbelt was tugged, corrected if needed, then laid crossed on the red chairs. A white rope was dragged along braided metal anchor line cables to check for any deficiencies. When the jumpers boarded the aircraft, eyes looked intently at the rigs on each jumper, while hands tightened and pulled at straps and harnesses. When safety checks were done, the men and women of the Polish and American military were ready to do what they came there to do – jump from a C-130J Super Hercules cargo aircraft with a parachute. From beginning to end, the 435th Contingency Response Group jumpmasters ensured all personnel safely jumped and landed on their intended target during Aviation Detachment Rotation 22-4 training in Powidz, Poland, Sep. 13-15.
