Paratroopers use static line with round parachutes, and I believe the training altitude is 1000ft and the actual combat altitude is around 300ft (someone correct me if numbers are off)
It was 800ft for training and down to 400ft for a true combat jump with the older T-10, and is now 1000ft for training and down to 600ft for the new T-11. During the Basic Airborne Course, they typically jump around 1250ft.
This is the US military though, I couldn't really comment on specifics from other countries.
