U.S. ARMY RANGER WATER JUMP

- A group of U.S. Army Rangers, assigned to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion, conducts an Airborne Jump out of a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters, assigned to Charlie Company, 185th Assault Helicopter Battalion, into Lake Lanier at War Hill Park, Dawsonville, Ga., May 9, 2017. The annual training event, hosted by the 5th Ranger Training Battalion, gives Rangers an opportunity to become proficient in water landings, while giving the local community a chance to see the Rangers train in the Lake Lanier area. (U.S. Army Reserve video by Staff Sgt. Austin Berner)
I went through airborne training in the 60's. We received training for tree, landing and water landing. But we never actually did them. On purpose. We heard that one class did a night jump and upon deploying their chutes, the steered toward a large pond, as it was the only clear place. So they all executed what they were trained to do. That was, to unlock your harness and just before hitting the water, drop out, into the water. This was to avoid having the chute come down over you and drown you. Only problem was that it wasn't a pond. It was a parking lot with about 1-2 inches of rain water. As I recall, no one died, but some bones broke.
Omg id cry 😭😭
Also the 60's. Westmoreland had a big interest in recon and how to insert it in hostile territory undetected. Did a night jump from10k into a circular lake. Chutes were modified flats with minimal control compared to current equipment. At altitude we decided that the center of the lake looked good as a target. It was. The quarter mile swim to shore, in boots and dragging the canopy, turned out to be the real test. When the last of us dragged ourselves out of the lake like so many wet rats, the sergeant turned to the officer monitoring this hapless event and said, "All present, sir." He walked off into the night without so much as a nod or a comment. Yeah...that went well.
@@terryclarke8874 I was in SOG the summer of 68. One of the targets was Hotel 9. All previous attempts to get in there and gather ground info had failed. Walking through our FOB, a guy I was talking to, pointed out another guy walking by. He told me that guy was training for a solo HALO drop into Hotel 9.
Nope. Not me.
I never heard if that op went off.
Hope there were no alligators in the water!
Fearless heroes, unselfish volunteers who serve our country... Thank You.
A job title doesn't make you a good person.
@Akelo I paid myself to do my own dirty work... win/win. I'm still getting paid for the dirty work I did..... win/win/win. Pretty freaking sweet, lol.
Working
That is crazy how the helicopter just is up and away in no time… my stomach felt it!
As for the jumping… you are very brave men and I’m so grateful for the time, effort, courage and dedication you put into learning these skills…
You are really living life and meeting massive challenges.
Greatest respect and army mom’s love to you all- past, present and future
This would be the day where I burn a day of vacation to go fishing thinking I have the whole lake to myself and then ten dudes drop from the sky with parachutes lol.
And then they yell, from about 20 feet away..."CATCHIN' ANYTHING?"
Thank You Army Ranger Men. I am glad that the USA has men who train for battle. Many Thanks. God Bless and Protect You !
May you get back the love and karma that you give out. Best of Luck.
god bless you? Maybe next time you're talking with god you can tell him to stop it with the wars.
@@trustthescience2260it’s just a nice thing to say to someone.
Thank you so much for your service
Thanks fo not putting music over it. It presents a much immersive experience to be able to hear the actual noise and voices love it
Yes!
Love how quiet it gets once you’ve deployed. People find it hard to believe that you sometimes can hear conversations on the ground while you are descending….
I was always at peace when my chute deployed. Airborne 🪂!

I’m absolutely terrified of heights, but…maybe it’s the altitude they jumped from or it’s the landscape being so peaceful, I really enjoyed this and thought how nice it would be to be in the camera man’s position.
The higher you go the less scary. 18th Air Corps Ft.Bragg
Try paragliding. You start out doing small flights off hills then progress. I’m not one for skydiving but I did a paragliding course and have flown a lot, it’s not so scary if you do it in stages.
I hate heights, just graduated from ABN school. At 1250 ft it doesn’t seem so high. I was always very nervous until after I handed off my static line, then I just said “fuck it” in my head.
The situation is that there is no perspective from which height is judged, as from a building. Jumping from the 30 foot and 300 for towers is terrifying, from an airplane is much easier. What we see is just a great green carpet. ( white, if your Canadian)
Gators must be thinking "wow, food falling from the sky"
Now I'm scared
Hopefully, they are fully armed.
Nah, Rangers be thinking, "Oh sweet, I'm gonna land right on top of my next meal."
@@nwren4637 Gators delicious?
Until they get shot.

Fun.....fun....Great job Ranger!!....you make us proud!!! Great video too👍....I love to see this again .....
Airborne Rangers Lead The Way! Who-Wa! Para 50th Sig, 18th Air Corps; Ft. Bragg. Miss you guys!👍
Becoming an Army Ranger is a dream that never came true for me, but watching this vid I just caught an anxiety attack 🤦🏿♂️😂😂😂😂😲🪂🫡🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I will be one
Awesome stuff!
Both my daughters are in the Army!
ARMY STRONG!!
hoorah! ( i am not military ) but i salute & respect all women & men whom have, currently are, or will serve(d) in the military to all branches to all ranks, thank you.....
Just finished airborne school and I have to say this looks and seems so much more peaceful with a lot more graceful landing lol
Still actual jumping is less damaging than that swing landing trainer they have you do in benning.
Real men doing real men shit. Respect to all those in the service 💪
You sexist pig
@@agoogleuser6902 there were no girls in the video? You sound dumb. Never said ladies don’t kill it all the same.
Oh man, I loved water jumps, once I got over 45. There old men jumps, no sore legs or backs, just soft water.
anyone here because this randomly popped up on your recommendations?
Me too !!
Proper randomly
Yah
@TotheK I N G D O M 😂😂😂😂
yup
Love you mate , ❤️🤗💕🙏🤗💕🙏
Great ping pong match, Michael Jordan sure knows how to score a touchdown
Thank you for your service! GOD bless you and keep you safe!🇺🇸
Do you also believe in Santa Claus? Grow up! You're imaginary friend doesn't exist.
You 75 guys are quick and to the point. That green ramp looked swift. We had a water jump once in the 82, but I think it was reserved for some high speed guys.
Thank you for your bravery and service to me and my family
As a group of soldiers stood in formation at an Army Base, the Drill Sergeant said, “All right! All you idiots fall out.”
As the rest of the squad wandered away, one soldier remained at attention. The Drill Instructor walked over until he was eye-to-eye with him. The soldier smiled and said, “Sure were a lot of ’em, huh, sir
aaahh i get it
Wow the graphics on this new battlefield game are amazing!
Lol😂😂😂

Nah, it’s the Arma 4 trailer

I really like seeing the other soldiers there at the end also. Reminds you that for every one in the sky there are ten more that got him up there.
I wish I hade a job like that must really be fun working with those guys
This is what my grandfather did - he transported Rangers and other special forces as a Huey pilot. Big respect for the Rangers and the pilots they ride with!!!
How far back are we talking? Was he army or marines? 160th?
@@Bandito7537 Oh just during Vietnam, in the Army. Honestly I don’t know if Army Huey pilots were flying Marines, I just never heard of Marine Huey pilots. I’m reading Chickenhawk right now to understand more of what his time was like. He retired as a Colonel after 20 years but I don’t think he was in any other wars after Nam. I only got a short time with him because he died of throat cancer when I was 10 which probably was from having to sometimes fly through the agent orange clouds. His name’s James Seargant Jewel.
Great respect for your granddad.
@@pinkfloydguy7781 crazy time to be a helicopter pilot in vietnam. bless his soul
@@deannasanders2462 yjx all the be ready Until i to
The military is so cool. Young people who don't give it a try are really missing out.
I mean the military is like this 13% of the time. The rest is just what they don't teach you before you join
@@Jvha761 yeah; and with our current command staff I'd rather not be ordered into a war I have no business in
Its cool until its not.
@@Jvha761 13% this is more like 1%.
You say that until you are in it, its really not and most come out worse than they were when they went in
Ahhhhh, the weekend cometh! 🎉
You guys make that look fun. I did one static line jump many years ago onto dry land. I would not care to do it into water. GBA and the U.S. Army !

Now just gotta jump out of a helicopter into the pool
@@ThomasShelby-qb4ic .
Nice one. Brings back a lot of memories! Been in the South African defence force in the 90's and our water jumps were a bit different then (it may have evolved by now). We did not have any flotation devices, so while on descent you had to basically unbuckle the harness - after pulling the leg straps low on your legs, so that it acts as a "chair" - and then at the last moment you would literally jump out of the harness into the water. I think this method in the video is much better :-)
You Guys are bad Ass !
Muito bom
Wow! It'd be scary enough parachuting over land, but doing it over **water!** - wow!
I've heard that some forces do water jumps **at night** which adds a whole extra level of scariness to things.
If you press F the parachute will shut down for a moment, then you press F again and it will open near the point.
Thank you for your service and Oath to the Constitution!
Ernie Walton Oath to the constitution? I just wanted the free college tuition and skills training.
Awesome. I hope i get to do this at my unit
That's some pretty high speed stuff right there! They make it look so easy.
US ARMY RANGER “QUALIFIED” WATER JUMP, always fun to do none the less
1/39 FA (ABN) Fort Bragg 92-95 Got to jump a lot but never had a water jump, had a most unfortunate Cactus landing however.
Bentley's Backwoods Bushcraft and that’s what I would say might be one of the most unfortunate Jump landing stories I have heard!
Yall didn't jump into white lake?
Wow...........
Great

I'd be more afraid of getting eaten by an alligator than jumping out of the helicopter.
They most likely have an underwater fence to keep them out, if there are any Gators. I wouldn't surprised if there were
No gators in lake Lanier
I'm more worried of the catfish...
with scales.
Yes the catfish have scales here, and blisters... lol

Glad they’re on our side!!
Amazing filming Rangers! No shaking, no screaming, no panic. Just a calm drift into the water. Beautiful! Thank you for your service!
LMAO!!! No shaking, no screaming, no panic.
No screaming or panic? You realize these guys are US Army Airborne Rangers right?
You're welcome
@auditor of ignorance fear of heights
“OH MY GOD MY PARACHUTES GONNA FAIL IM GONNA DIE UP HERE IM GONNA SUFFOCATE THERES PROBABLY CROCODILES DOWN THERE”
it's so refreshing to see people walking up to a helicopter without ducking.
ducking is a good habbit.
My life ducking sucks.
You may already know this, but I will put this out there. This is for GMN, the normal tactical angle of approach to a BH helicopter is 45°, so you are taught that you must duck. The blades can dip down ato just over 6 feet.
@@Buffeddust a helicopter might also land on terrain that isn't perfectly level, so the blades could be even lower than they appear. It's definitely worth it to duck when the alternative is risking getting your head lopped off.
They're some bad ass mother fuckers man. No fear
WHERE WE DROPPIN BOYS?
INTO SOME FLIPPING WATER WHERE ELSE XD
Jumping from helicopters is the second most fun you can have
Army life is actually pretty boring. You don't get to do stuff like this everyday, or shoot guns everyday. PMCS, Sergeants time training, EO/Sexual harassment classes, etc. That's gonna take up a lot of your time.
Also, my airborne friend said these guys will have to clean and dry their parachutes before giving them to the Riggers. So fun!
Mr. Arnold i’m thinking ab joining when i’m old enough would you say it’s a good idea?
My cousins stationed at ft lewis and said the same
I actually saw a funny chart the other day that was what you learn in the military 90% is dont kill anyone dont kill yourself and don't rape anyone
90% of your time is spent going to formation, (a half hour early), waiting for formation, standing in formation listening to your dumbass First Sergeant blah blah blah about a bunch of moxnix bullshit, leaving formation, and doing nothing while you wait for the next formation. The other 10% is police call.
yea, if its anything like going to the range, this clip was preceded by 6 hours of waiting in lines and listening to safety briefs
It feels like I’m in a first person video game right now
I'm sure jumping like that feels like you're in a dream after the fear leaves.
It’s not the jump that I’m concerned about it’s what’s in that water
Now that's a fun jump, shorts, water, rhib pickup, who could ask for anything more!!
With my luck at Bragg, I would have hit the trees, that was my fav at Sicily DZ out of UH1's. Are you guys out of Benning or Hunter 1/75th?
I couldn't do this I'm too scared of heights I almost had panic attack just watching this video.
Ken B. NPB I think you mean RHIB, though I can't say any Ranger wouldn't want a RHIB with baby back ribs aboard to eat after pickup LOL
seriously i would pay to do that lol
They're zodiacs, AKA no hull to speak of.
Respect and salute to soilders
Done a dare job.
Very good video - I could feel a little butterfly in my guts, almost as if I were to jump :)
I live in in the south. We have a 45’000 acre lake that spans two states.Some of my neighbors and I have seen this happen more then once.Pretty cool to watch in person.We were around a half a mile and watched while we were fishing
was there. very impressive, especially the physical fitness of the soldiers.
Amazing footage sergeant! Airborne All the Way!
Am Israel Chai!
That looked like something you do once and keep wanting more.
Thank God for Americans ❤🇺🇸🙏🏽
I like how it was a quick ride to drop off..but man u got to love heights and have big balls..good job guys
helicopter fuel isnt free :S
I am very proud of my Army Bros

Emirica army i love you 😘😍
You parachuted too early.. by the time you hit the water, everyone already got level 2 helmet, full set of weapons, and a nice backpack..
The rope is attatched to the helicopter so when they jump it pulls itself after a while
And shorts on. They're going to swim to shore and war in shorts. This is a worthless exercise. They'll never parachute into water and get picked up by boats. For fucks sake if there's a God damned boat ready to pick them up, they could have loaded the Rangers on the boats and fuck the parachute jump.
@@jaywillow9927 you take family day really seriously bud.
jay willow it’s a normal parachute exercise just in water Incase the helicopter gets hit
I realised none of these replies don't really connect with what youre talking about😂
Ah, to be young again, and a Ranger. HOOAH!
Admiro los Ranger por su valor y corage Dios bendiga a Estados Unidos y sus fuerzas armadas love 🇸🇻🇺🇲.
Would recommend ear plugs
Nah they don't wear ear plugs they are used to it
Remember, if your parachutes don't open, just say your prayers
Being in the army seems fun tbh.
Zach_filmer fun my ass
No
Pretty cool,,,God bless all
How long the way???? Quiet.no! Disturbed
I love seeing these Army Rangers kick their footsies as they prepare to jump out of a helicopter

Sometimes you dont know who what or why youre fighting, nor agree with it, but youre signed up and cant run away and got to do your job and stand up for yourself and do whats got to be done. Even if it takes two to tango, sometimes damage limitation mode and containing a bad situation is all that can be done to even try to stop things escalating or getting too out of control if at all possible...
