	HALO Insertion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		HALO minimizes the time you spend floating down in your parachute, which is when you are most at risk from enemy observation and fire.
		HALO jumps are done from such high altitude that it is necessary to use an oxygen tank and mask to remain conscious and specialist clothing to prevent freezing.
		If a critical failure is rolled during exiting the aircraft or while trying to recover from a tumble then it will result in a severe tumble causing damage to the head as well as a loss of reflex due to the centrifugal forces and damage to the inner ear and their equilibrium.

	High-Altitude Airdrop Missions [HAAMS] High Altitude-Low Opening (HALO) and High Altitude-High Opening (HAHO)
		The HALO techniques are used for missions to prevent detection of the aircraft and the jumpers.
		The HAHO techniques are used for missions which require minimal detection of the aircraft under conditions which restrict the aircraft from penetrating a certain area, such as the border of a country.
		HAHO allows the jump aircraft to deliver its cargo from a significant standoff range, thereby reducing the odds of enemy detection and increasing the survivability of the aircraft and the parachutists.

		HAHO jumping and HALO jumping may seem the same thing at first: jumping out of an airplane or helicopter at high altitudes.
		HAHO- Also known as High Altitude High Opening, it is good for a stealthy entrance and department of the vehicle.
		HALO- Also known as High Altitude Low Opening, is good for a quick landings and quick maneuvers.

	HALO
		HALO is an acronym for High Altitude-Low Opening, and is also known as Military Free Fall (MFF), while HAHO stands for High Altitude-High Opening.
		The main difference between the two techniques is that in the HALO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at a low altitude after free-falling for a period of time, while in the HAHO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at a high altitude just a few seconds after jumping from the aircraft.
		In a typical HAHO exercise, the jumper will jump from the aircraft and deploy his parachute at a high altitude, 10–15 seconds later after the jump (typically at 27,000 feet or so).

		HALO and HAHO are acronyms that describe methods of delivering personnel, equipment, and supplies from a transport aircraft at a high altitude via free-fall parachute insertion.
		In the HALO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at a low altitude after free-falling for a period of time, while in the HAHO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at a high altitude just a few seconds after jumping from the aircraft.
		In a typical HALO exercise, the parachutists will jump from the aircraft, free-fall for a period of time at terminal velocity, and open his parachute at a low altitude.

		HALO jumps are done from such high altitude that it is necessary to use an oxygen tank and mask.
		Very similar to a HALO jump except the parachute is opened at very high altitude.
		The highest a HAHO jump is normally done from is 30,000 ft. From that height a character can glide around 24 km from the drop point.

	World Leader in Parachute Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		HAHO insertions allow a team to infiltrate undetected into a denied or semi-permissive environment because the jump platform is separated from the drop zone by significant vertical and horizontal distances.
		A typical HAHO mission profile consists of an exit altitude of 25,000 feet MSL and an offset of 15 kilometers from the drop zone.
		The maximum attainable horizontal offset for a HAHO insertion is determined by two factors: canopy glide ratio and wind effects while under canopy.

	Dan Meadows's Airborne FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) and HAHO (High Altitude, High Opening) parachuting is usually performed by small units (such as Special Forces teams) in their specialized missions.
		The aircraft flies at high altitudes to reduce the chances of detection or being shot down, and the soldiers either deploy their steerable 'chutes at low altitude if they jumped nearly over the objective or high altitude if they have to steer toward a distant objective.
		A HAHO jumper can travel several ground miles with his specialized, steerable 'chute as he descends, depending on his initial altitude.

		If it was unimportant it wouldn't be required for those on flight or HALO status in the military or of certain civillian pilots by the FAA.

	Military Parachuting
		HALO" for High Altitude Low Opening, the military term for skydiving, is freefalling in "tactical grouping" (sport skydivers call this no-contact RW).
		There is also "HAHO" for High Altitude High Opening where the jumpers open at a high altitude like 25,000 feet, and glide long distances to the landing area (sport skydivers call this cross country).
		HALO altimeters similar to the SSE, Inc Altimaster II of 12,000 feet per revolution (with 250 ft marks) but these units are more heavy duty, more accurate readings, and the units include a nightlight (powered with 2 AA cells).

		They perfected the method of High Altitude/Low opening (HALO) jumping from upwards of 36,000 feet on oxygen.&127; At that altitude the tempurature is subzero, and it is common for your goggles to freeze and shatter, and your eyeballs to freeze shut.
		H.A.H.O. High Altitude/High Opening jumping is an extremely difficult form of insertion which requires a tremendous amount of training as an individual and team.
		A typical HAHO profile has a squad jumping out of either a commercial aircraft or military craft with a commercial IFF signature in the normal air traffic lanes so as to not raise suspicion.

		High Altitude/Low Opening (HALO) jumping may not be as complicated as HAHO navigation, but it is no less dangerous.
		AS with HAHO jumping, the team members need oxygen to remain conscious and specialist clothing to prevent freezing.
		Because of the risk of hypoxia (which causes loss of conciousness) HALO parachutes automatically open at a pre-determined altitude.

		HALO is a way of dodging detection by jumping from an altitude of up to 25,000 ft., then freefalling to about 4000 ft. before opening the canopy.
		For HALO and HAHO jumps, Special Forces use the MTI-XX, a highly modified civilian ram air chute that can glide at airspeeds up to 25 mph.
		For the high-altitude leg of a HALO or HAHO deployment, jumpers breathe from two compressed oxygen "bailout bottles." A chest-mounted magnetic compass normally guides them to the drop zone on HAHO jumps, but recently, compact Global Positioning System (GPS) satnav units have tested favorably.

	Military Free-Fall (MFF)
		The standard operating procedures for all aspects of military free fall operations within the XVII Airborne Corps are identical to those reflected in the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Regulation 350-2 and FM 31-19, Military Free Fall Operations.
		Thus personnel exposed to high altitude should be discouraged from strenuous exercise immediately after exposure such as combat operations for 12 hours post-flight.
		During high-altitude, high-opening, (HAHO), parachute missions, MFF parachutists exit at high altitudes and deploy their canopies at high altitudes using highly-maneuverable, gliding parachute systems to silently travel distances of more than 50 kilometers.

		Generally a unit will be parachute qualified, but not necessarily in HALO and HAHO.

	Troop Parachutes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Highly preferred in sophisticated operations such as SAR, HALO and HAHO, these RAM Air parachutes provide unparalleled maneuverability and control for the paratrooper.
		The rectangular-shaped canopy handles more like a glider and allows the jumper a much higher degree of steerability which makes for extremely accurate landings.
		These qualities make the CSAR-4 a much-preferred choice for Search and Rescue missions where speed and accuracy are of utmost importance.

	Pics or Vids of HALO/HAHO jumps [Archive] - Military Photos
		During the early 1970's an operational HALO jump was made by an SAS patrol at some spot in Oman named the "Musandaman peninsula" or something like that.
		When I had a slight taste of civilian parachuting in my late teens, I think oxygene jumps was part of the progression chain (at the advanced end of it obviously, and you had to have a good amount of verified "correct" jumps before being allowed on courses for oxy-jumps though if I remember correctly).
		In HALO jumping with CE before you land you lower the ruck to your feet and hold onto the ruck’s shoulder straps with the tops of your feet.
