It is possible that their Recon (LRSC) unit is an Airborne capable unit, but we're talking a Company sized element of light Infantry - that's it. And if the recon element is the only unit that can conduct an Arctic jump, they wouldn't do it - because they wouldn't be reconning anything valuable/actionable for the rest of the Division. They don't have the resources or mission statement for Airborne operations. They're a great Infantry Division. They're trained for Mountain Warfare. But they are not a unit with any Airborne Capability.
10th Special Forces Group might be able to do it... maybe. They are Headquartered in Ft. Carson, Colorado... but that doesn't mean they're training for arctic conditions, especially jumping into that kind of environment.
I'll ask some of the group guys at work tomorrow. watch for a follow up on this.
