Pictured are members of the British Army Pathfinders taking part in an Urban training environment. Pathfinders (PF) is the advance force for 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army’s airborne rapid reaction force. PF soldiers are trained in specialist airborne insertion techniques and capable of conducting offensive action tasks at very short notice. PF operate behind enemy lines in small, self-sufficient patrols, finding and relaying vital information back to Brigade HQ to enable it to plan and execute missions. A key role is identifying drop zones and landing zones where the main body of troops can be parachuted or landed by helicopter.
