Para Drop Armor is the pinnacle of German technological achievement. By 1949 the suits are still in short supply and are used sparingly. More suits are battle ready every day but training an experienced soldier to handle one of these complex machines is a long and arduous process. The suits are used most often in small numbers in support of more conventional forces to swing the course of a battle but occasionally they are deployed in force to take important objectives.

The largest organizational unit of Fallschirmjager Drop Armor is the company. Three Platoons of drop suits and one drop mech per platoon form the core of the fighting force. Other drop mechs are available from the division level regular Fallschirmjager pool however.

Drop formations are deployed with the assistance of elite Luftwaffe Pathfinder units who infiltrate enemy positions to call them in. These Pathfinders are veterans of countless operations and excel as forward air and artillery observers in addition to their specialized pathfinding role. They are also very dangerous.
