Soldiers assigned to the Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate at Fort Bragg, N.C., eject a test mannequin out of a C-17 Globemaster III over Pope Army Airfield, N.C., Feb. 20, 2020. Soldiers from the ABNSOTD integrated with Airmen from the 15th Airlift Squadron to conduct air drop training for both services. ABNSOTD personnel conducted familiarization and proficiency training drops on test mannequins which allowed the Army to evaluate new parachutes and equipment. Also, loadmasters from JB Charleston executed heavy training drops for re-qualification. (Photo by Staff Sergeant Lance Valencia)
