The European Paratroopers Association was founded by a group of active
and reserve European paratroopers and military parachutists in August 2001
as the European Military Parachute Association, and in September 2004
we adopted the present denomination.

Our membership consists mostly of active, reserve and retired soldiers
of European Union and NATO countries’ armed forces.

The European Paratroopers Association is an independent, supranational,
non-partisan and non-denominational organization of active and former European military parachutists and paratroopers.

Our organization supports free democratic basic rights.

We offer our members comprehensive basic and advanced training in parachuting and organize frequent parachuting, shooting and sport events.

We are in touch with active and former military parachutists in Europe
and all around the world and promote international relationships and comradeship according to the spirit of international understanding and mutual tolerance.



The European Paratroopers Association every year organizes various basic
and advanced stage airborne training courses and several military jump, shooting
and sport events around the world.

Our members get opportunities to train and jump with airborne units
and paratrooper reserve associations to earn their official parachute wings
and much more...

Further and updated information on the events of the European Paratroopers Association can be found on the events page.

All active, reserve and retired soldiers can become members of the European Paratroopers Association and take part in our events.

More information on the application process of the European Paratroopers Association can be found on the membership page.

All member participants of the “European Paratroopers” jump events will receive the European Wings (European Paratroopers Jump Badge) after completing
three jumps.
