This footage of a heavy cargo drop followed by Airborne Soldiers jumping at the Deadhorse drop zone for Arctic Pegasus 2014. This mobility exercise enables the military to build proficiency in Arctic Airborne operations in extreme cold-weather conditions. Arctic Pegasus 2014 is a Joint-Interagency Military training exercise held above the Arctic Circle, with a goal to enhance U.S. Army Alaska's mobility and operability in arctic conditions.

Been on a few of these drops in a C-130 with Special Forces just inside the Arctic Circle in Norway back in late 60s. Those were some fun days.

@lutherb6877 3 жыл бұрын

This brings back memories. I went to Northern warfare training center in fort greely Alaska. Those vehicles are called anfibious susves. They were put out first on the heavy drop. Then we jumped out with Snowshoes, and weapons. That was over 40 years ago. Time flies.

The look from the guy at 3:00 is CLASSIC!! “GET ME OFF OF THIS FUCKING AIRCRAFT!!” This was some GREAT editing. Anyone that’s DONE this knows that they went HOURS without going to the bathroom, doing an in-flight rig (because they entered the A/C WITHOUT their gear on), getting JMPI’d, waiting for the equipment to go out and THEN you get to jump and getting the 100+ pounds off of your back and legs!!

I remember the C130 jumps, if you didn't have a strong exit, you would hit the side of the plane, I have heard many people bouncing off the side.
