The paratroopers of the Bundeswehr were among the first German units to take part in missions abroad, such as in Somalia. Since then, they have been involved in almost all Bundeswehr missions abroad. In times of asymmetric wars, this highly mobile unit has been given a significantly expanded range of tasks. The author describes in detail the history, structure and tasks of the paratroopers within the Bundeswehr. The previous foreign missions of the paratroopers are given special attention in this richly illustrated volume.
