   MARANA, Ariz. â€” The 68th Rescue
Squadron held jump upgrade training at
the Marana Regional Airport in Marana,
Ariz., this week.

   Jump phase is important to get parares-
cuemen comfortable and competent on a
canopy enabling them to land in a given drop
zone with precision.

   â€œJumping is one of the more difficult things
we do and the more that we can practice our
canopy work the better we will be in high
stress situations,â€ said Staff Sgt. Derek, 68th
RQS pararescue instructor. â€œThis course
helps students get to where they can go to a
team and continue to progress as a group.â€

   It is imperative that training, qualifica-
tions and capabilities of pararescuemen are
extensive because they are the only Defense
Department forces specifically postured to
conduct full-spectrum personnel recovery.

   â€œThis is a main way for us to get to injured
personnel or isolated personnel in a timely
manner and provide treatment in the quick-
est time possible,â€ said Tech. Sgt. Dustin,
68th RQS pararescue instructor.

   The jump training spans several weeks
and is in conducted in multiple regions
across the U.S.
