During World War II, parachutes were primarily packed by specialized personnel known as parachute riggers. These individuals, often part of the military's airborne units, were trained to assemble and pack parachutes correctly to ensure their reliability and safety during jumps. In addition to military personnel, some civilian contractors and women in organizations like the Women's Army Corps (WAC) also contributed to parachute packing efforts, especially as the demand increased during the war.
