The Paran Brigade is an Israeli regular infantry regional brigade that is subordinated to the 80th Division and traditionally associated with the Southern Command. The Paran Brigade was established through a reconfiguration of the Sagi Brigade.[1]
The brigade headquarters are at Ketziot.
Structure
The Paran Brigade incorporates and consolidates in a single formation the mixed (male and female) Caracal, the Lions of Jordan, the Cheetah, and Bardalas battalions,[2] already serving within the 80th Division.
The Paran Brigade is unique in relation to the rest of the IDF divisions as a regional and regular brigade.
Mission
The mission of the Paran Brigade is twofold: border surveillance and defence, and internal training of the troops assigned.[1] The protection of the Israeli-Egyptian border is from Eliat to Holot Halutza with Egypt’s Sinai,[2] and, according to Andrea Spada, particularly the area extending from Nitsana.[3]
Distinctive insignia
The soldiers in the brigade will have the speckled, yellow, green and brown berets of the Border Defense Force and wear red boots and a newly designed tag on their shoulder.[2]
