Are you sure they weren’t ski divers?

There is only one airborne unit in RI to my knowledge (the 1/126th). Not sure they’d be doing exercises on a random Friday.

126th isn't an airborne unit, they're aviation. 143rd and 56TH Troop Command are the airborne units here.

I saw them too. They jumped from a helicopter and almost immediately pulled a chute. This doesn't feel sky divery to me.

That's typically the way things go during Leapfest down at URI.
