Without question the most famous aspect of the Vietnam War was Helicopter Warfare. For the first time, the US Army created the AIRMOBILE Infantry Divisions (Helicopter). WW2 created the US Army's first AIRBORNE Infantry Divisions (Paratroopers).
Yes. In the modern British army, paratroopers do still jump from planes. The Parachute Regiment forms part of the airborne infantry element of 16 Air Assault Brigade.
Any will do, you can even gain your qualifications in the army!
I would have to say about 10,000 to 30,000 paratroopers as an estimate, for more info check a national geographic movie about it , they should have if not ask around.
When Paratroopers jump out of an airplane, they don't yell anything. They do execute the 1st point of performance; the first point of performance is to execute a proper exit, check body position, and count. Counting by 1000nds, (e.g., one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand) is how Paratroopers determine if they need to deploy their reserve parachute. If no opening shock from the main parachute is felt by four thousand (4 seconds after exiting the aircraft), the ripcord rip is pulled thus deploying the reserve parachute.(former Sergeant, 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, and 307th Airborne Engineers, 82nd Airborne Division).
Yes they did but only in a small scale and for sabotage and/or "commandos" actions.
British Paratroopers, they are one of the best fighting forces in the world, The British Paras Train SAS Troops, surely they are one of the most specialist, focused and lethal forces in the world.
