5th Abn Brigade Pathfinder Platoon DZ Patch
Features:
In 1985, three years after the Falklands War, it was deemed that 5 Airborne Brigade
required their own intelligence gathering force who would operate directly to the Brigade
Commander and independent to the Parachute Regiment. Their primary role was battlefield
preparation which included the identification and marking of parachute Drop Zone's (D.Z.)
and Landing Zone's (L.Z.) several days prior to the arrival of 5 AB BDE ground forces
and air assets.
The men were drawn initially from the 3 Parachute Regiment battalions and kept their famous
Red Beret and Parachute Regiment cap badge. After a number of years, the Platoon looked
towards men from within the Brigades support arms as a recruitment source and began to draw
on the soldiers from 9 (PARA) Sqn Royal Engineers and 216 (PARA) Signals Sqn.
