CFF Gear from the "commando" era !
First Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (Commando).
- 1 para (cdo) was the first unit that tested and adopted the mandate and charter of a Special Forces (SF) Battalion.
- 1 para (cdo) was a para regular unit before converting into commando on the lines of 9 Para (cdo) and 10 para (cdo). And before that it was a line infantry unit.
- Post conversion from Cdo duty, 1 para (SF) was an experimental SAS type unit for the army. Their early mandate was very CQB/MOUT heavy.
-1 PARA (cdo) almost became SG in 1981 when it was being raised under SFF.
