Alaska night jumpers jump in the hours of darkness, yet it's daylight!

Alaska night jumpers conduct airborne operations during the hours of darkness in the summer, problem is it doesn't get dark! Then in the winter the hours of daylight, well, it's dark! You get the picture. In Alaska the operations can be confusing. Jumpers conduct heavy drops, door bundles, and mass tact jumps. The jumps are normally 800 feet above ground level. As you can see, the arctic paratrooper is expected to carry their own body weight in equipment. This is expected of every paratrooper in the United States Army. The 4th Battalion, 25th Airborne Infantry Brigade is stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska. This is located just north of Anchorage. The elements are harsh and unforgiving. AATW!
