Pararescue jumpers train 'that others may live'

Senior Airmen Michael Brown and Jake Purvis wait for a visual signal from the jumpmaster to proceed to the rear cargo ramp of the HC-130 Hercules flown by 79th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron aircrew before a 9,900-foot free fall over Camp Lemonier, Djibouti. Assigned to the 48th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron under the Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa, the pararescue jumpers deployed from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., routinely jump to hone skills that qualify them for insertion into austere and hostile terrain.
