1-18. Enemy activity will usually prevent detachments parachuting within swimming range of a BLS. Normally a detachment will jump with inflatable boats, assemble on the boats, and motor the extended distances involved. When using inflatable assault boats, personnel should rig them for airdrop before loading the aircraft. At the command to exit the aircraft, personnel drop the rigged boatloads before they exit. Upon landing, predesignated personnel swim to the boats and begin derigging; they dispose of air items and prepare the boats for movement to the BLS. Remain ing personnel link up with their buddy team members and rendezvous with the boats. (Chapters Chapter6 and 7 discuss small-boat information).
