The Iraq Paracute unit
Soon after the formation of the Parachute Regiment in the UK the Levies were tasked with raising a company sized parachute unit. This wore the red beret initially with a reduced size daggers badge. Later they wore the RAF Levies badge and photographs also show the standard Parachute Regiment badge in use as well.
Other insignia was the same as in the Parachute Regiment/Airborne Forces.
The Parachute unit saw service in Palestine and Greece.
