HOW U.S. MARINE ARE TRAINED AS PARACHUTE TROOPERS. A sergeant of the United States Marines drops from a control tower in one of the early tests of a candidate for service in the parachute troops. His legs are bound and his arms are held in position to hold weapons and equipment he would carry in an actual jump. Getting accustomed to the shock of the opening of a parachute is a basic step in the training of Marine paratroopers, whose combat job is to land behind enemy lines, seize key points and disrupt enemy communications.
