#SpecialTactics Airmen with the 320th Special Tactics Squadron prepare for a static line jump from an #MC130J Commando II over Ie Shima, #Japan. The #staticline is a cord attached to the parachute deployment bag at one end and hooked to the aircraft at the other end. As the jumpers exit the aircraft, the line is drawn taut, and the #parachute is pulled from the deployment bag.
