The terms airborne and waterborne are usually used in reference to diseases. Airborne diseases are those carried through the air and can be passed from one person to another simply by breathing in the air around. Waterborne diseases are those carried in water and can be caught from swimming in contaminated water or from swallowing it.

∙ 11y agoAirborne is the deployment of troops from an aircraft from a static line parachute where the parachute opens almost immediately after the jumper leaves the aircraft. This is done at low altitudes and allows for a large amount of paratroopers to be deployed by air.
HALO, High Altitude, Low Opening, is a tactic used my more specially trained operator. As opposed to airborne jumps, HALO jumps are performed at high altitude. From exiting the aircraft, the jumper remains in free fall until they reach low altitude, in which they open their parachute. This method is more appropriate when small teams of operators need to enter an area by air. HALO can also be known as Military Free Fall, or MFF.
