Its actually "nap of the earth". In this same exercise we had a mission to deploy a platoon of 60 commandos to a FOB (forward operating base) in which we did a low level contour navigation and then a max effort landing at that short field. When we lowered the ramp for the ERO (engine running offload) they were all "dead" with about 50 barf bags scattered all over the aircraft floor and some more content in which no barf bag was able to be used in a timely manner... The loadmasters weren't pleased, nor the firemen back at base... they had to use a a fire hose to wash the plane on the inside... LOL
