History

The changes taking place in the fifties in the Armed Forces of the country also affected the airborne troops. They are being re-equipped with new equipment, reorganized on a new basis and become the main means of influencing simultaneously the entire depth of the theater of operations. This was reflected in the introduction of their own parachutists' badges, since before that, as can be seen from the preceding, the attribute of the defense society was used in the troops.

At the suggestion of the commander of the Airborne Forces, Lieutenant General V.F. Margelov, by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense No. 186 dated November 10, 1955, the badges "Parachutist", "Excellent Parachutist" and "Parachutist Instructor" were established. At the same time, the Regulation on Signs and their description were approved.

The "Parachutist" badge was awarded by order of the commander of the unit after making the first jump from an airplane or balloon. To receive the "Excellent Parachutist" badge, at least eight jumps were required and the initial standards of parachute training were passed. The award was carried out by order of the commander of the unit. The badge "Parachutist Instructor" was awarded to military personnel who made at least fifty jumps and passed all the standards and the program for the title of "Parachute training Instructor". They could only be awarded by the commanders of the branches of the armed forces. The attributes were developed in the Technical Committee of the SIU and manufactured at the Moscow Pobeda plant.
