Origin of term "Para Jumper"

Combat service Support (CSS), US para Jumpers and 103 Sqn did compete in the medical event as planned.

In 1972, the USAF Para rescue known as Para Jumpers (PJs) joined in and it became an international exercise.

The term "Para Jumper" is a retronym of the initials 'PJ' that were used on an Air Force Form 5 (Aircrew Flight Log) to identify anyone who is on board in order to jump from the aircraft.
