JRTC and Fort Johnson’s Post

Happy #NationalAirborneDay! 🪂 National Airborne Day, Aug. 16, honors the military's airborne divisions of the Armed Forces. Aug. 16, 1940, marks the date of the first official Army parachute jump at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The successful jump validated the innovative concept of inserting U.S. ground combat forces behind a battle line by parachute. These sky soldiers represent some of the most prestigious and expertly trained forces in the United States Army. #AATW
