Clan Name: 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion named after real 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion
The Real 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion was created by an order of the Canadian War Cabinet on Canada Day, July 1, 1942. Its early mandate was to be a highly mobile quick strike force that could easily respond to any invasion threat within Canada, as there was a great fear at that time that the Japanese might invade. It was thought that such a highly mobile force would be able to quickly respond (and repel) any invaders, especially to the more remote islands in British Columbia.
Planning began in earnest with the Canadian Military Headquarters sending two groups of potential paratroopers, one each to the Airborne schools of the American and British Armies, both of which already had well-established training programs. The goal was to combine the best aspects of both the American and British systems in an attempt to create the best system of airborne troopers to meet Canada’s needs.
This Clan attempts to follow the design and intent of the original Heros who fought so bravely to help preserve Freedom in The World. It is with deep respect that we utilize their Name; it is with the utmost humility that we thank them for all the did.
