INTRODUCTION
The Parachute Regiment, colloquially known as the Paras, is an elite airborne infantry regiment of the British Army. One battalion is permanently under the command of the Director Special Forces in the Special Forces Support Group. The other battalions are the parachute infantry component of the British Army's rapid response formation, 16 Air Assault Brigade. The Paras are the only line infantry regiment of the British Army that has not been amalgamated with another unit since the end of the Second World War.
This information manual and regulations aim to give you the best possible insight into how we work, and to push your ability to the maximum.

PEGASUS COMPANY
Pegasus Company (P Coy) is the company in which trains those for the parachute regiment, and conducts Pre-Parachute Selections (PPS). The P Coy programme takes students beyond their own appetite for challenge, testing their physical and mental robustness, and in doing so, assessing their commitment and suitability to serve with Airborne Forces.
P Coy is split into three phases, but due to ROBLOX limitations, they have all been included into one.
P Coy courses are staffed by serving members of the parachute regiment and 16AA, and all officers or soldiers wishing to join any Airborne Forces must undertake this training.
Those wishing to sign up for the Parachute Regiment as an officer must prior do an application form, in which is logged and, if you are accepted, will have to undertake further officer training as an officer cadet after completing a P Coy course.
Those whom graduate out of Pegasus Company, are awarded their maroon beret, and are promoted to the rank of Private, and assigned to their respective battalion.
