Which two documents reflect the number of individuals authorized to perform parachute duty in a
given organization?
The UMD and JMD
List four DAFSCs that are considered jump inherent.
(1) Combat Rescue and Special Tactics Officers (13DXX).
(2) Combat Controllers (1C2XX).
(3) Pararescue (1T2XX).
(4) Special Operations Weather (Combat Weather) (1W0X2).
What is the difference in the two types of jump positions?
Active jump status means the individual is either occupying a jump inherent DAFSC or a designated “J” coded UMD/JMD billet; temporary jump status allows commanders to place qualified members on active jump status in the absence of validated parachute positions.

It is a parachute system where the parachute is deployed by the member during descent. Any parachute jump performed without the use of a static line is considered a MFF.
