The Fallskjermjegerregiment (lit. "Paratrooper Regiment") is the Royal Nordenic Army's rapid reaction airborne unit and the only regiment-level unit capable of performing air mobility, air assault, and airborne tasks. All members of the regiment wear maroon berets, and those qualified as parachutists may wear parachutist badges.
