International Military Registration Guidance
Review the competitor participation requirements (below). The Memorandum of Instruction (MOI) for last year’s event is available to view or download, as a general guide. It does not specifically pertain to next year’s LEAPFEST, and is subject to change.
A Training Certification Memorandum is also required. It is to be approved and signed by a Lieutenant Colonel (O5, OF-4, or equivalent and higher) in the participants’ chain-of-command, and submitted NLT JUNE 30th.
International Competitors are not required to have conducted an MC-6 jump prior to LEAPFEST. An MC-6 familiarization jump will be conducted here in Rhode Island for all International Competitors during the week preceding Competition Day.
A Registration Fee of $1,750 per US TEAM is required in order to participate at LEAPFEST. The International and US Team Registration Fee ($1,750 and $1,250 respectively for the entire team) is solely used to cover the cost of the competitor team package and all venues at social events. No part of the Registration Fee is used to cover the cost of lodging or chow, nor does it support any operational needs of the event/competition. International Teams have an additional social event (International Welcome Dinner), which is reflected in the increased cost. The competitor team package ensures all team members receive any associated LEAPFEST SWAG and overall prizes for teams and individuals that place in the competition. Registration Fees are paid directly to the LEAPFEST Association, which is a non-profit organization that handles the ordering and purchasing of all LEAPFEST gear as well as the planning and execution of all social events. No members of the LEAPFEST Association are paid in any way, shape, or form. All funds are strictly used for the betterment of LEAPFEST events from one year to the next.
