Research abstract
Paratroopers have been among those in the Army at the highest risk of serious injuries. These injuries are due to excessive impact forces and moments, and are a great concern for military operations. The overall goal of this Phase II program is to reducethese injuries. Two avenues will be taken to achieve this goal by using a combined approach involving biomechanical modeling and laboratory testing. One is to provide guidelines of landing techniques for paratrooper training. The other is to reduce landingimpact forces and moments through protective devices.In Phase I, a
