Airborne infantry refers to military troops trained to be deployed from aircraft, typically using parachutes. Their primary role is to conduct operations behind enemy lines, allowing for rapid insertion into combat zones. This capability enables them to seize key objectives and disrupt enemy forces. These soldiers undergo specialized training to prepare for the challenges of parachuting and operating in diverse environments. Airborne infantry units, such as the 82nd Airborne Division in the United States Army, are often part of larger military operations and can be deployed quickly to respond to crises or conflicts.
