This week’s Airman Top Shot comes from Tech. Sgt. Jana Somero!
usairforce pararescuemen assigned to the 82nd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron conducted High Altitude Low Open parachute jumps from a C-130 Hercules near Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Feb. 13, 2025.
In the HALO technique, the parachutist opens the parachute at a low altitude after free-falling for a period of time (high altitude – low opening). The technique minimizes risk to supplies, equipment or personnel as they are airdropped from high altitudes over enemy airspace.
