EPA's Parachute Jump Exercise.On 13-15 June we have conducted in Czech Republic a Parachute Jump Exercise exclusively reserved to the Italian Army cadets. The Army Cadets had the great opportunity to attend a true international parachute jump exercise & wings exchange event designed to give them the opportunity to perform parachute static line descents with current operational military round canopy (steering-gear) parachute systems and earn foreign airborne wings. During the three days of training the 30 Italian Army parachutists have performed over 60 jumps and were awarded with US Army parachutist badge and Ukrainian military parachutist badge by the host Unit's responsible Training Officers.
