Allow the Goon pilot control alt for troop chute opening .... 800' min alt drop ....  troops free fall until the set alt.

  Paratroopers jumping from C-47's used static lines.  Find a record from WWII of jumpers from C-47's using rip cords instead of static lines, and you might have a case.

He wants to drop troops from High altitude and have them Halo drop in like commandos pulling their parachutes at the last second...cool thought, that's not needed.  :D

There are numerous photos online showing the troops in the aircraft hooked up with static lines as well as pics of the drop showing static line exits.
