The men receive word that weather conditions aren't favourable so the initial air drop is postponed. Two years earlier, Baker Company undergoes combat training in Camp Toccoa. There the men are instructed by Sergeant Joseph Miller to aim their rifles downrange and take out the targets dressed up as German Soldiers. Next they are instructed to run a rigorous obstacle course, during the live fire exercise crawl, one recruit panics and is accidentally killed. The next day the men officially become "paratroopers" and have earned their "jump wings" when they jump out of the C-47.
