Brigada de Fusileros Paracaidistas

The Brigada de Fusileros Paracaidistas (English: Parachute Riflemen Brigade, lit. 'Brigade of Parachute Troopers'), also known as Chutes, is the Mexican Army premier airborne light infantry unit similar to the 75th Ranger Regiment and the British SFSG. The unit acts as support for combat operations of SEDENA's EMCDN SMUs such as FEBFP or FER. The brigade is currently headquartered at Santa Lucia Mexican Air Force Base N-1, State of Mexico and is composed of a headquarters company, one special missions unit (operationally under EMCDN command), a logistics company, an airborne training center, and three parachute riflemen battalions. == History == The Brigade's origin dates back to 1946 when Divisional General Francisco L. Urquizo and Director of Aeronautics Divisional General Gustavo Salinas Camiña elaborated a program to create the country's first Paratrooper unit.
