3:45 Fuck yeah! I'm a bad mutherf- Oh God, snow's going down the back of my neck!

[@allamerican82nd57]

I did cold weather training in Minnesota when I was in the 82nd Airborne but this looks incredible.

[@Kretek]

I hope they have warm socks.

[@joshuanewcombe8454]

Kretek Mickey Mouse boots are a life saver in that environment...

[@dungeonrat]

I don't know about your experiences, but I served there from June 24, 1977 to December 16, 1978 as a light weapons infantryman; and I never had any issues with "Trench Foot" or "Frostbite". Of course we changed our socks daiily, and our leadership were constantly checking up on us to make sure that no one became a environment casualty. In those days, if someone got frostbite; his chain of command at least to platoon level (and sometimes company level) got their asses relieved!

[@scm731]

Beautiful, God bless them, everyone.💖✝️

[@marshal1808]

That looked amazing and very fun.

[@Ruckweiler73]

Flintlock: I skydived once when it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit and after a freefall from 7500' I was right cold. Seemed like a good idea as we were hard up for a jump. Not exactly fun.

[@soflodoug]

Field__-Marshal-__Flintlock Are you crazy? its probably minus 70 or more in. the air. very painful. and possibly deadly.

[@Voss2120]

Anytime and anywhere on the planet in any environment. The US military has forces trained and prepared for all.

[@AusDenBergen]

Well, not all, as they'll soon learn...

[@cherifbar]

Amazing stuff! Do Not Mess With The U.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mranderson5668]

I don't see any Imperial Walkers.

[@phunkadelic1159]

You see....that's how it starts... It's all quiet and plain...until something is moving in the distance. Awww....it's a Dog...wait, what the shit is that red line across it's face????

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

That's the one time in the army everyone is begging to do work to stay warm...

[@jonathanm6448]

25th remains the most versatile us army division. two Stryker brigades, 1 infantry and 1 airborne. 1st SBCT and 4th bde (airborne) up in Alaska.

[@FernandoFlores-ut8ic]

THE BEST OF THE BEST: PARATROOPERS.

[@killa704]

the real storm troopers

[@phunkadelic1159]

Are you saying they have bad aim??? o_O

[@Tikii_9]

Cory Lee stormtroopers were not nazis at least not in ww1

[@theolewell7535]

amazing

[@shaunyu6965]

Such an extreme cold training makes the US troops No 1 in the world. God bless them!

[@TheSlovenlyTactician]

Except the Finns, Swedes, and Russians don't have the budget or force projection capabilities to train as extensively or exploit any cold weather experience they may have. Also, if you think the those nations armies are good winter warriors just because they live in colder climates, may I remind you that the US has Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, New York, etc.

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

Shaun Yu Canadian army trains in Kugaaruk Canada it reaches -70c with windchill. Try training there.

[@dd3701]

That looked very fun

[@kennyesposito6477]

Well first of all, hats off to our American brothers for getting out and doing some training in some semi-cold weather exercises as we both want and need them to do a hell of a lot more of this. That being said, labelling this as an extreme cold weather jump/exercise was stretching the truth in major way folks. I am all for the raw , raw shit but anybody who has lived and worked in the artic would be laughing at this as by arctic standards folks this was a pretty warm day to say the least. The tell-tale signs as to how cold of a day this was are so bloody obvious not to mention that these troops were not properly kitted up to spend any more than a day out on the ice at best. As a retired Canadian soldier I have spent many weeks on end operating in this environment learning from the absolute best extreme frigid cold weather survivalists in the world ( The Candian Inuit people) and I can only imagine what they would be thinking if they saw such a video. I would deploy almost anywhere in the world with our American brothers but I would not deploy with any forces equipped like these boys in Northern Sask little own the high Arctic. Shitty gear, red rucks which you could see for miles on end, no gear toboggans equals quicky jump, short hump and get the hell out of dodge before you freeze your ass off

[@peterpukdeesri6094]

That looks like it sucks more than normal. Got all that cold weather gear on, then eventually you'll get hot from actively engaging targets, and then you try to dress down and realize you're extra cold cause of sweat and the weather.

[@120masterpiece]

Their gear and equipment is specifically designed to accommodate overheating. While it's not perfect it does help.

[@Fi10Gale]

Are these square parachutes the new T 11's?

[@ivansarajev49]

Can anyone explain why they don't camouflage the backpacks?

[@sebanofear]

what was the temperature?

[@staciketchum9110]

I like jumping, but really? No, Thank you.😊 This is insane, Bless them..😇

[@staciketchum9110]

what goin g attack, a polar bear?

[@user-eo9zd3mk5q]

Staci Ketchum What?

[@user-yz6ms5mp5i]

They jumped twice ?

[@reillybrangan2182]

You'd really wanna make sure that that was solid ground and not just a frozen lake....

[@Ruckweiler73]

That's what the Parachute Landing Fall (PLF) is for.

[@hcesaudeeb1716]

Que diferença de um país que investe nas forças armadas para um que não investe nada como o nosso

[@gonagain]

Wow.

[@mrstealyogirlwitextrasauce6167]

I'm gonna sign up to be a paratrooper

[@thegrimlonewolf1963]

Hi

[@RadioMcRadioface]

Kotzebue on the flightline was -85

[@WhyHelloMrKenyon]

fucking brilliant. once in a lifetime

[@mamatalu]

Felt like landing was too had on the knees.. or is this normal?

[@foxden5012]

mamatalu pretty normal Happens at every jump.

[@savagewolf7929]

Can someone plz explain to me wats with the yellow cords they are hangin on yo when they jump out I'm in my senior year of high school and I'm going to the army so this would be such a help if someone could explain plz.

[@dungeonrat]

The "yellow cord" coming out of their parachutes is the static line which starts the opening sequence. Basically it pulls the "ripcord" for the soldier once he's clear of the airplane.

[@thegrimlonewolf1963]

Looks fun?!?! Is it?!??!?!?

[@sunspotst7697]

this is why we're the best in the world 😅

[@user-fh5dl2tp6p]

😊👍

[@gegalvezge]

God Bless The Airborne and God bless the United States!

[@SandroM_]

What the fuck were they looking for over there?

[@ilvaporizzatore]

Why the backpack aren't white too?

[@dungeonrat]

They have an "over white" shell that covers their rucksacks, but on a jump the wind coming off the airplane is violent enough to pull if off, so ususally they'll jump without it on. Once they're on the ground they should put it on if they're being strictly tactical; why the didn't here I cannot say.

[@soflodoug]

Its minus 70 no fun here. Painful and deadly cold.

[@yuhboris304]

1:06 made me giggle

[@JFomo]

Where are the pyramids yo?

[@melikesleepy]

Yeesh... good on them but not for me. That extreme deep freeze is what does it in for me.

[@htm2250]

reminds me of Red Dawn #AMERICA

[@epa901]

Skis are lot faster

[@Constantine551]

[@conanthebarbarian8783]

that fall does not look very good for the body.

[@Ruckweiler73]

That's why there aren't 60 year old paratroopers.

[@leoplx3594]

When the army gonna understand that this parachute are the worst type ever created.....

[@dungeonrat]

Everything the Army buys is provided by the "lowest bidder"!

[@Ruckweiler73]

Are you a jumper? The T-11 is different than the T-10. Allows heavier loads and descends slower.

[@reptilianspermbank-6218]

the artic circle hmmm.....I bet you can test nuclear bombs there and no one will know about it

[@konkyolife]

BAMFs.

[@bokvarv1926]

Weater is too nice, and the paratroopers have have too much clothes on....not good not good
