Recruits start with the basics of constructing a shelter, cooking, maintaining themselves and their weapon, and personal camouflage.
Later, recruits master spotting the enemy and how to indicate targets, patrolling skills, obstacle crossing, and fire and manoeuvre as part of a team.
Recruits are introduced to the 5. In later lessons recruits are taught how to hold and aim, moving with the weapon and fighting with a bayonet attached. Once the basics are mastered, recruits fire the weapon from different positions at various ranges up to m.

Lessons are varied and progressive, with endurance runs, use of a fully-equipped gymnasium, climbing walls and swimming sessions.

Later in August , all parachute battalions became battalions of The Parachute Regiment in this new Corps. In February , C Company 2nd Parachute Battalion, under Major John Frost, carried out the highly successful parachute raid to capture a vital part of a German radar installation at Bruneval in northern France.
During the year, the 1st Airborne Division was built up, based on the two brigades. The newly formed 2nd Parachute Brigade, together with a full complement of supporting arms and services, trained to land by either parachute or glider. Defence cuts gradually reduced the reserve formations to a parachute brigade and then a single reserve battalion. The emblem of the airborne forces is Bellerophon mounted on the winged horse Pegasus.
The first recorded instance of an airborne warrior, his exploits are recounted in Greek Mythology where he is chiefly famous for slaying the fire-breathing monster Chimaera.
Mounted on Pegasus, with spear in hand, Bellerophon rode into the air, swooped down upon the monster and destroyed it. The emblem was designed in May by Major Edward Seago, to be worn on the arms of all airborne personnel. British Commandos US Army, The aim of P Company is to test physical fitness, determination and mental robustness, under conditions of stress, in order to determine whether an individual has the self discipline and motivation required for service with the airborne forces.
In accordance with current Government policy on the employment of women in the UK military, service in the Infantry i. Parachute Regiment is only open to male volunteers. However, appointments do exist for women within the Army units that support 16 Air Assault Brigade and as such women can apply for P Company.

Elite Forces, like the Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment, are characterised by the determination of the group to carry through with the mission as a group.
This is in contrast to Special Forces who are characterised by the determination of each individual to carry through with the mission even if they be the last one standing. There is a presumption that personnel who volunteer for P Company will become, or develop into, very good team players. And, although there is an element of individual work required the emphasis is on team cohesion and teamwork. Stronger team members are expected to aid weaker team members through knowledge development, encouragement and camaraderie; though only to a point.
If an individual is unable to cope with the stress physical and mental of the course, after remedial work and a period to demonstrate improvement, the individual will be subject to RTU returned to unit procedure. Airborne training is designed to test personal and team motivation to the point where actual operations present challenges that candidates will be able to overcome.
The argument being that there is no point in suffering doubts at hours, in the silence of a tactical operation, after a helicopter or transport plane has dropped you off in or around enemy lines.
Candidates are not expected to be superman; they just need the above to pass the course. They are firstly all volunteers, and are then toughened by hard physical training. As a result they have that infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from physical 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 and have never failed in any task. 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 have shown themselves to be as tenacious and determined in defence as they are courageous in attack. They are, in fact, men apart — every man an Emperor.

P Company is the only recognised route for Regular and Reserve members of the UK military to become airborne soldiers. P Company is open to male and female officers and other ranks of the UK, except for No. Although the vast majority of spaces on P Company are allocated to personnel who will serve with airborne forces, some vacancies are allocated to individuals who will never directly serve with airborne forces.
All officers and other ranks can apply for P Company after they have completed all Phase 2 employment training associated with their career employment group CEG or Service equivalent.
However, not all officers and other ranks will be eligible for subsequent service with airborne units, as jobs with these units are subject to career employment group CEG criteria and requirements of the Service. And, personnel who pass P Company do not transfer to the Parachute Regiment and P Company is not a conversion course it provides candidates with an extra set of skills that the wider-Army does not possess.
There is no compulsory requirement for P Company trained personnel to serve with airborne forces. However, it generally accepted that, for example, Royal Engineer candidates will serve at least one tour usually 3 years and immediately after P Company with the relevant airborne unit, in this case 9 Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers.
All officers and other ranks over the age of 18 who have completed Phase 2 training are eligible to apply for P Company. Theoretically, at least, personnel can apply in the last year of employment. Norman had previously completed 30 years in the Parachute Regiment.
