Drop zone
STANFORD TRAINING AREA, England – Staff Sgt. Joshua Kruse, 56th Rescue Squadron pararescueman, sets up a wind directional arrow Feb. 15, 2011. Knowing the direction of the wind helps pararescuemen in the air know how to direct their parachutes to the drop zone. The pararescuemen were performing static line jumps, which involves a mechanism that opens a parachute automatically with no action required by the passenger. This is the first time that the 56th RQS has performed static line jumps since being stationed at Royal Air Force Lakenheath. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Tiffany M. Deuel)
