Green On….Go! – In 1983 The British Army formed 5 Airborne Brigade from what was 5 Infantry Brigade. This established the ability to insert a leading Parachute Battalion Group (LPBG) size body of men from the sky. This image is based on an airborne insertion by static line circa 1984.
AD UNUM OMNES
“What Manner Of Men Are These That Wear The Maroon Beret?
They are firstly all volunteers and are toughened by physical training. As a result they have infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from well-being. They have ‘jumped’ from the air and by doing so have conquered fear. Their duty lies in the van of the battle. They are proud of this honour. They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skill in battle or smartness in the execution of all peace time duties. They are in fact – men apart – “Every Man An Emperor”
Of all the factors, which make for success in battle, the spirit of the warrior is the most decisive. That spirit will be found in full measure in the men who wear the maroon beret”
-Bernard Montgomery-
