Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eleven (EODMU-11) members parachute from the ramp of a C-130 Hercules using a static line, a line connecting the deployment bag of the parachute to the aircraft from which the parachutist jumps. Static lines are used in order to make sure that a parachute is deployed immediately after leaving the plane.Photo credit: Photographer's Mate Airman Chris Otsen, United States Navy
