What is the first jump command for a UH-60?

The first jump command for a UH-60 is "Get ready." This command is essential as it prepares the jumpers mentally and physically for the upcoming jump. It signals jumpers to focus their attention, secure their equipment, organize their thoughts, and get into the correct positions to execute the jump safely.

Following this command, jumpers may perform necessary checks on their gear and ensure they are ready to exit the aircraft effectively. While "Sound off for equipment check" and "Check static lines" are important safety procedures that follow, they come after the initial readiness command. The command "Go," which signals the actual exit, occurs only after all preparatory commands and checks are completed. Thus, initiating the sequence with "Get ready" establishes the foundation for the jump process and enhances overall jump safety.
