Airborne Infantry units

Airborne Infantry units are specialized soldiers trained to be rapidly deployed by aircraft—such as parachuting from planes or moving via helicopters—behind enemy lines or into areas inaccessible by ground forces. Their goal is to seize key positions, secure territory, and support larger operations quickly. They are highly trained in tactics like parachuting, rapid assault, and operating with limited support. These units provide strategic flexibility, allowing military forces to respond swiftly to emerging situations across various terrains, often acting as a shock force to gain an early advantage in combat scenarios.
