Since 1950, only those in the ranks of Sergeant and above may perform any Jumpmaster duties.〔Fred L. Borch and Robert F. Dorr. "Duty, Honor, Country: Today's parachutist badges reflect jumpers' experience". ''Army Times'', p. 18. stated that "Additions were made to the requirements for senior and master badges after 1950, including satisfactory completion of the jumpmaster course". The same article states, "When not enough men volunteered for airborne training, the Army forcibly assigned soldiers to airborne units and made units conduct their own airborne training. In the late 1940s, for example, the 11th Airborne Division, then in Japan, conducted its own parachute and glider training."〕 The individual must be a graduate of The United States Army Advanced Airborne School at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, The United States Army Jumpmaster School at Fort Benning, Georgia or the USASOC Moblie Training Teams Jumpmaster School.
