Training the fundamentals never stops. #DYK: Our riggers pack parachutes for every Basic Airborne Course student and paratrooper who complete static line jumps on the installation. Given 300-400 students graduate each iteration of the course and must jump five times to graduate, that’s thousands of parachutes a year! | U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence

The little details matter. Parachute #riggers inspect, test, and pack parachutes, their extraction and release systems, and all the associated components of the parachute system. June 2-3, US Army Airborne School, Fort Benning will host the first Rigger of the Year competition! Get ready to see who is the best Rigger on Fort Benning. | U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence
