  BUMPPLAN
  7-40. A bump plan is used to ensure that critical personnel and equipment are delivered to the airhead in
  the assault in the event of last-minute aircraft maintenance problems or the planned number of aircraft is
  notavailable.Whendesigning theplan,considercommunicationsrequirements,thetimerequired/available
  to execute the bump plan, and ensure secure en route communications package and tactical satellite
  (TACSAT) supports the physical location of key personnel (i.e. commander on right door, TACSAT on
  rightdoor). A simpleplanalwaysworksbetterundertimeconstraints.
  7-41. The bump plan must be coordinated through the ground liaison officer. State bump plan by priority
  and sequence, the time required to execute the plan, and number of personnel to be bumped. Units must
  keep in mind, the bump plan should account for the location of key personnel and communications
  requirements(TACSAThatchmountsforexample).
  7-42. The outload brief is coordinated and facilitated by the G-3 of the higher headquarters. This is a
  working briefing and is the final coordination opportunity for all involved in the airborne operation. The
  outload coordination brief sheet is filled out during the outload brief. Special attention should be given to
  chalk number and formation, keypersonnel, key heavydrop, hot loads, air land loads, bump plan, number
  ofpersonnelandtimeline.
  7-43. All paratroopers will be marked in accordance with unit marking standard operating procedures.
  These markings must be strictly adhered to for both day and night jumps so that jumpmasters and key
  leaders can recognize the tactical cross load within a chalk, implement timely bump plans, or reorganize
  jumpers at the last minute to adhere to a cross load, and assemble quickly. At a minimum a bump plan
  shouldinclude:
