What is a jump master?

Jump Masters are specially trained military personnel responsible for supervising and ensuring the safety of paratroopers during airborne operations. They oversee the preparation, equipment checks, and procedures before, during, and after a jump. Jump Masters play a critical role in briefing jumpers, checking parachutes, and coordinating with the aircraft crew to execute safe and successful airborne missions. Their expertise helps minimize risks and ensures that all paratroopers exit the aircraft safely and efficiently.
