parachute drop
Jump from plane
A parachute drop is the delivery of people or cargo from an aircraft by parachute.
Military operations use parachute drops to insert troops or supplies into combat zones: The parachute drop went smoothly, with all twenty soldiers landing in the designated field.
Humanitarian aid reaches remote areas the same way.
