Military could allow a 10pct casualty rate in their scenarios. So if 40pct vax and 20pct of them die, it is allowable as it is only 8pct.
I saw an airborne unit in NTC wipe out almost 10pct on a drop in high wind because they needed the check box and the wind light went green long enough to shove em all out the doors
People got smoked for it as it was training, but allowable rate of casualty is a calculated risk that is acceptable
Damn that is insane. Did the chutes not open or what caused the casualties? I have heard of helicopter crashes and stuff but never losing that many in one jump.
Yup real combat training is very dangerous. We use all the big toys, we break shit and blow it up, get exposed to proximity live fire. Dangerous. We would lose 10 guys on my ship when we deployed.
Correct. I had access to the risk assessment for a large airborne operation at Fort Bragg. It involved several nations and included airborne operations up and down the east coast. I was shocked to see how many people would die; estimates ranged from several hundred to a few thousand.
