what para regiment do and what para commando do difference between both work?

Dear Aspirant,

Regiment is the military's unit. For instance, para regiment or parachute regiment is a unit which consists of para commandos.

Now there are are types of Para commandos.

Paratroopers are elite troupes. They are often confused as the Special forces but they are the only people who can aspire to become para commandos in the future and have to go through extreme conditions to prove their vitality.

Becoming a Paratrooper is voluntary. Some of these enter the regiment just after their training straight after their recruitment. Other transfer their units. The first process for an aspirant includes getting into the Paratroopers (Airborne) Battalions (5, 6, 7). This includes a 3-6 months rigorous probation/selection period with a passing rate of just about 30% or less on average.

They have different levels. There training differs with that. The 1 Para (SF) is trained for mountain warfare, the 9 Para (SF) is trained for jungle warfare and the 10 Para (SF) is trained for desert warfare, & so on.

Para Commandos are Special Forces unit of the Indian Army’s Parachute Regiment. The Indian Para SF (insignia: Balidan) is different from Para battalions (insignia: Shatrujeet) and other commandos. The only similarity between them is that all three forces are commandos.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello!

The Parachute Regiment, colloquially known as the Paras, is an elite airborne infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment is one of the most elite units in the world. The first battalion is part of the Special Forces Support Group under the operational command of the Director Special Forces.

Para Commandos or Paratroopers are soldiers who have been trained to drop from aircraft using parachutes. ... These soldiers go through an extensive training over a period of 2–3 years AFTER completing their basic paratrooper course. They have to undergo: Ghatak Commando Course. High-Altitude Mountain Warfare course.

The Para battalions have the ability to hold ground for brief periods, while the Para SF are mobile forces that have to strike multiple targets hard and move on — the “tip of the spear”. Para (SF) are Special Forces, especially trained in unconventional warfare.

Hope this helps!

Hey Divy Pandey

Only these Paratroopers can aspire to be a Para Commando (Also called Para SF) and have to take part in one of the toughest selection process in the world.

The SF Operate in Squads of 6: Weapons, Demolition, Navigation, Communication & Medical.

The Parachute Regiment is an airborne infantry and special forces regiment of the Indian Army. Parachute Regiment consists of PARA and PARA (SF) Battalions, which are the elite volunteer force of Indian Army.

Hello Divy,

I am happy to help you for this question as I am also belong to Military background.

Para regiment is one of the powerful regiment of our country . The main aim of a Parachute Regiment is quick deployment of soldiers behind enemy lines to attack the enemy from behind and destroy their first line of defence.

You can think this is like, para regiment is a institution which trains the solider to conduct range of missions and assign them task to perform. para commandos are those soliders who perform the following  missions such as special operations, direct action, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, counter-proliferation, counter-insurgency, seek and destroy and personnel recovery.

In another words  para regiment is a Unit of Indian Army and their Soliders are para commando.

hope this will help you in understanding the difference.

best of luck for your para journey.

Thank You!
