4th Battalion the Parachute Regiment
A Company
About Us :
A Coy 4 Para, is the Scottish arm of The Parachute Regiment Regular Reserve, and has locations in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Our role is to train and be ready to support the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Parachute Regiment on operations and in training. The 1st Battalion forms the core of the Special Forces Support Group, whilst the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Parachute Regiment are part of 16 Air Assault Brigade who have recently returned from operations in Afghanistan.
Once a member of 4 Para you can be deployed to train and work with our Regular Army Battalions. Last year we trained in the USA, Slovakia, France and Germany, operating with our Airborne counterparts from these countries, parachuting from their aircraft and training with their weapons, and in the coming year as well as training within the UK there will be opportunities to train, in Slovakia, USA, Kenya, and Oman to name a few places. Firstly however you have to earn the Red Beret, by passing our Selection Process P Company.
Once you have passed P Company we will then send you to RAF Brize Norton, where you will be trained as a military parachutist, and earn the coveted parachute wings of Airborne Forces.
If you are up to the challenge then get in touch.
