EPA's Parachute Tactical Jump Exercise.On 25-27 April we have conducted in Czech Republic our Tactical Jump Exercise 2014. EPA members, coming from 7 different countries, had the great opportunity to attend a true international parachute jump exercise & wings exchange event. The Tactical Jump Exercise was designed to give our members the unique opportunity to perform tactical parachute static line descents, with the paratrooper's individual equipment and weapon (dummy gun) placed inside containers (at least 30 kilograms), with current operational military round canopy (steering-gear) parachute systems. During the three days of training EPA parachutists have performed over 90 jumps, included tactical jumps with individual weapon and rucksack, and was awarded with different foreign airborne wings.
