U.S. Army Sgt. Turner Emberton, an air assault instructor with the 25th Infantry Division Lightning Academy, instructs viewers on how to construct a hip rappel seat and provides a live demonstration of that process on Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Nov. 8, 2021. The hip rappel seat will be utilized in the Rappel Master Course and the Lightning Academy Air Assault Course. The Rappel Master Course is a week-long course designed to ensure that students will be proficient in Rappel Master duties to include Rappel Master Personnel Inspections, tower training, rappeler sustainment training and rotary wing operations. The LAAAC and its instructors train the students on missions involving rotary wing aircraft, aircraft safety, aero-medical evacuation procedures, combat assault techniques, rappelling techniques, etc., in both a classroom and field environment.
