Editing Basic Airborne (Static Line)

= Basic Airborne (Static Line) =

The '''Basic Airborne (Static Line)''' certification is an advanced qualification available to operators within '''MSOT 8213 – Task Force Raven'''.  
This certification represents successful completion of static-line parachutist training, enabling insertion by low-altitude parachute operations.  

It is modeled after the U.S. Army Airborne School and is a prerequisite for more advanced parachute training such as [[Military Free-Fall (HALO/HAHO)]].
