More than 1,000 soldiers and airmen participated in the annual Randy Oler Operation Toy Drop on 8 December at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to earn their international jump wings. Participants, who included jumpmasters from Canada, Chile, Germany, and Ireland this year, can jump only after donating a toy for charity. Operation Toy Drop, now celebrating its tenth year, trains allied jumpmasters to work with US paratroopers. The jump mission is named in memory of Army Sgt. Randy Oler, who founded the original toy drop. The airlift was provided by Air Force Reserve Command’s 95th Airlift Squadron, a C-130H unit based at Pope AFB, North Carolina.
