What type of parachuting does the sbs use

Post by Mr Maroon »

Hello Gentlemen i'd like to ask what type of parachuting the SBS uses i.e. HALO/HAHO, Are all members of the SBS trained in Parachuting and what type of situation would they parachute into?
Thanks Chaps

It all depends just what job has to be done, the last active service jump last December was at 250 feet in Afghanistan

All members of the SBS are parachute trained, both wet and dry.

As regards what situation! Simple one that requires entry by parachute!!!
