The Brits call their Global Response Force the Airborne Contingency Force and they basically perform the same missions.
What will be extremely interesting is how the different forces handle promoting individuals with and without combat experience. More telling will be the relationship between the leaders without it and the led with it. Friction will exist in all the allied forces between the groups until the next war (well it'll be magnified at the beginning of the war) or until the forces retire or kick out all the CAR wearing servicemembers.

I think the 3rd para's are mirroring after the 82 Airborne division's ready brigade. Where one brigade is on a stand by ready to respond anywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe role used to be called Spearhead and rotated through the infantry and Guards units. 3PARA is only one of three battalions of the Parachute Regiment, which is the base unit of 16 Air Assault Brigade which is the biggest brigade in the British Army.
