Description: Oak Harbor, Wash. (Mar. 23, 2004) — Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eleven (EODMU-11) members perform a static jump from the ramp of a C-130 Hercules, in groups of three. EODMU-11 is flying with the 731st Airlift Squadron and will descend from altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 13,000 feet. Their mission is to successfully exit the aircraft using proper parachuting procedures and hit their designated drop zone target. Each jumper must go through a series of safety checks before jumping, while being instructed by the jumpmaster, who is the most qualified jumper aboard the aircraft, and the only one who can give the okay to exit the aircraft.
