Paratrooper forces around the world

I dont know how up to date this is:
 
Poland,
1. 6th Air - Assault Brigade - http://rozeta.com.pl/~vi-bdsz/home.html
Now only one bn , 16th Airborne Bn - http://www.16bpd.pl/ - is considered as a paratroop and all soldiers are paratroopers, as well as Brigade Recon Company and scout platoons in other bns - 18th and 6th Air Assault Bns and artilerry bn have parachute training olny if budget permits (helicopters are mostly used)

2. 25th Air Cavalry Brigade (light infantry) - had status airborne unit and recived training, now its changed and they rely mostly on helicopters http://www.kawaleria.pl/ http://www.kawaleria.pl/?a=gallery&id=13

3. 1st Special Commando Regiment
4. GROM
5. Formoza (naval special unit - very small)

And lets not forget 35th Signal Brigade and 525 MI Brigade, both part of 18th Airborne Corps.

I'm sure there are quite a few more we're forgetting.
 
If we are going to include Special ops units and supporting units that are Para qual'd that list is woefully short, ive limited my responces to Paratroop units only, i.e. airborne Inf.

the original list ocox posted included SOF units (not all obviously)
 
No worries, I think we can update it. It includes alot of international SOF already....moreso than US SOF

2nd Recon Regiment soldiers also have parachute training. Afair they suppose to become smth like Long Range Reconnaissance regiment.

I've read some article about our Psyops group, and idea of creating small airborne section, but not sure If they have created it or not.

As for POLSOFCOM units, I guess that also the newest unit in this part of Polish armed forces(Special Forces) which is JWDiZWS(NIL) may have some parachute training as well.
 
Holy necrothread! Bbbrrrrrraaaaiiinnnnnnnsssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, some of those units no longer exist and were canned, removed from status, or rolled into current units, not to mention those which were created since '07.

We could update it, but it would take some work.
