November 12, 2018

Before the University of Alabama’s home football game against Mississippi State on Saturday, Para-Commandos jumped from a military aircraft and landed in Bryant-Denny Stadium as part of the pregame, Veterans Day weekend festivities.

The Para-Commandos are the United States Special Operations Command’s “premier aerial parachute demonstration team.”

In an incredible video posted by the university, you can watch one of the commandos’ approximately three-minute descent into the packed stadium.

The Para-Commandos are members of current Special Operations Forces. They are comprised of active duty special operators, including Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Air Force Combat Controllers and Marine Raiders. Their jump into Bryant-Denny has become an annual tradition for UA.
