Sorta like HAHO on steroids. You can damn near cover as much ground depending on wind speed.
I suppose the question is how long will a ~120mile trip be (and at what speed) and how much stress will it put on the body? They’d need to be a breeze to operate otherwise our men will be completely exhausted when they hit their mark.

I love stuff like this! I believe someone is coming up with a suit where you don't need a rocket or a parachute to use to jump off a plane. Of course I don't you can carry the gear you would need to be and effective fighter but that would be cool as hell.
