A paratrooper is a member of the armed forces that is dropped behind enemy lines using a parachute. They’ve has been part of the US Army playbook for a long time, with an entire Army Corps (XVIII Airborne Corps) specializing on it. During World War II, the Marine Corps created a short-lived, similar type of unit, the Paramarines.
