The history of French airborne units began in the Interwar period when the French Armed Forces formed specialized paratroopers units.
First formed in the French Air Force, they were rapidly integrated into the French Army, French Navy, National Gendarmerie and from the British Armed Forces.
Some were later included in the postwar French Armed Forces.
