As a former USAF Combat Controller, Air Show Jumper (USAF North Stars) Parachute Demonstration Team owner (Vertical descent Skydiving Team) with over 3500 free fall jumps of which over 250 were classified as HALO(High Altitude Low Opening) Jumps as described by USAF and US Army doctrine and I was there at the beginning with other innovators and pioneers such Shakey Hover, Bob Lanier, James Howell and other legends too numerous to name, I resent the implication from some 10 jump civilian (I saw the movie) weenie challenging this video. These are indeed USAF front line Special Tactics professionals who regularly perform HALO missions from altitudes up to 30,000′. The HALO method of infiltration jump altitude is dictated by the mission. Enjoy the Video, praise the warriors and leave the wuffo comments off. Unless you’ve been there don’t rely on TV for your commentary.

Team Chaos is right, this is not a HALO jump.
HALO jumps are done at about 20,000 ft-30,000 ft.
Most of these jumps require oxygen tanks.

HALO is not a 10,000FT! Somebody needs to redo this and quit lying! I jumped 14,000 solo on my first jump for AFF training level 1!!
