Defence Photography recently attended a training exercise conducted by the 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment. It consisted of a number of parachute drops into challenging terrain in UK. The 2 PARA battle group is currently serving as the UK's Air Assault Task force, which is ready to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice to conduct the full spectrum of military operations, from non-combatant evacuation operations to war-fighting.
For this type of parachuting the British Army use equipment from Irving-GQ (part of the Airborne Systems company) www.irvingq.co.uk
