Marine Corp parachutists are only allowed to use those articles, which have been successfully tested and qualified. The SF-10A parachute being acquired has been verified to perform to rigid requirements as specified in Marine Corp Order (MCO) 3500.20A for Marine Corp Parachuting and Diving Policy and Program Administration. The extensive testing and certification for the Marine Corp is necessary for these critical systems since failure of a parachute could result in the death or injury of a Marine.
