This is a new, fearsome weapon of war for mobile infantry who are very skilled at being very mobile.
The idea is that instead of releasing air-borne troops from a support plane by parachute, with all the attendent problems of extraction, instead you could use bungee cords calibrated to allow momentary
ground contact.
You squad of troops land, act very fast and then bounce back into the hold of the support plane.

I just don't understand how they stay on
the ground, but you could have the
plane circle close and low and then on
take off the troopers would be pulled
forcefully back to the plane. |

Yup, I'll never forget the day the air wing dropped our platoon just few feet too low, lost whole squads that day. Well, we didn't loose them per se, but it was a black day for the Bouncing 132nd. |
