Special Operations Command parachute team The United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM ) Parachute Team , called the Para - Commandos , is composed of volunteers from the United States Army , Navy , Air Force , Marines and U . S . government civilians who are assigned to Special Operations Command . They are selected for the team after a rigorous training program . They participate with the USSOCOM Parachute Team in addition to their regular duties , with training conducted during off duty time . The USSOCOM is two of nine unified commands in the United States military ' s combatant command structure . The bulk of the command ' s 47 , 000 people are made up of Army Rangers and Special Forces ( Green Berets ) ; Navy Sea / Air / Land ( SEAL ) teams ; Air Force combat controllers , pararescuemen and combat crew airmen ; and Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations forces . History . Formed in 1991 , the USSOCOM Parachute Team represents the elite of the United States armed services , its Special Operations Forces ( SOF ) . Team members are trained for a variety of combatant and humanitarian missions . One of the many techniques used for undetected infiltration into enemy zones is the dangerous and difficult military freefall ( MFF ) operation . Techniques . The team normally jumps from an altitude of 12 , 500 feet above ground level , freefall ing approximately 2 miles , reaching speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour . This freefall can last up to one minute . During their freefall , the members of the team maneuver their bodies , like the flight surfaces of an aircraft , to form numerous aerial designs and formations in the sky . When the jumpers approach an altitude of 4 , 000 feet , they will break their formation and glide in different directions . As each team member reaches an altitude of 2 , 500 feet , they will begin deploying their parachutes . Once open , the members steer their parachutes and perform what is called " stacking . " Stacking enables the jumpers to form up in the air as a group and land one behind the other , with precision accuracy . The USSOCOM Parachute Team modifies the military aspects of MFF operations and provides graphic displays of intricate maneuvers and precision canopy control techniques . Jumps by the team may include carrying a flag or passing a baton while descending in freefall , all while wearing burning smoke canister s attached to their boots to allow viewers to see them better . Currently . The USSOCOM Parachute Team has appeared at numerous military and civilian airshows , sporting events at all levels ( professional , college , high ) and various patriotic , civic and school celebrations throughout the United States . Members of the USSOCOM Parachute Team have established themselves as showmen , traveling ambassadors , and SOF recruiters for the Department of Defense .
