“What a spectacular sight it must have been from the ground to see the silhouettes of hundreds of Army Rangers descending from the heavens and landing on that airfield.

With very little visibility and even less control of those old parachutes, accidents are bound to happen. As we plummeted to earth I literally found myself running on top of another Ranger’s parachute in an event known as ‘sky sharking.’ I’m not entirely sure of the physics behind the reaction but two parachutes cannot stay inflated atop one another. I watched in helpless terror as his ‘chute collapsed, sending him directly to the earth like a shot put. There was nothing that I could do.

When I landed I collected my parachute and removed my rifle from its scabbard… As quickly as I hit the ground I was moving.”

U.S. Army Special Operations Medical Sergeant Leo “Doc” Jenkins, 3rd Ranger Battalion, recalls jumping into Iraq.
