The Ground Week Airborne instruction begins with an intensive program of instruction to build individual Airborne skills. These skills prepare the Soldier to make a parachute jump and land safely. Students train on the mock door, the foot tower and the lateral drift apparatus.
Tower Week completes the Soldier's individual skill training and further builds team effort skills. To go forward to Jump Week, Soldiers must qualify on the Swing Lander Trainer SLT , master the mass exit procedures from the foot tower, gain canopy confidence and learn how to manipulate the parachute from the foot tower, and pass all physical training requirements.
Successful completion of the previous weeks of training prepares Soldiers for Jump Week. During Jump Week, Soldiers must successfully complete five jumps at 1, feet from a C or C aircraft. Paratroopers who successfully meet course requirements are granted an additional skill identifier and are authorized to wear the coveted "Silver Wing" on their uniform. The purpose of the Basic Airborne Course BAC is to qualify individuals in the use of the parachute as a means of combat deployment and to develop leadership, self-confidence, and an aggressive spirit through mental and physical conditioning.
Airborne Soldiers have a long and distinguished tradition of being an elite body of fighting men and women — people who have always set the example for determination and courage. The highest standards have been set — it is now up to you to maintain them! In order to become a paratrooper in today's Army, you will fall into one of the four categories below.
