The battalion has performed many active operations in battle – producing many highly decorated soldiers – in the South African Border War from 1966 to 1989. Their best known action was the controversial Battle of Cassinga in 1978.
The unit's nickname "Parabat" is a portmanteau derived from the words "Parachute Battalion".
In remembrance of those proud and mostly forgotten men that fought the Wars and those that gave their lives defending South Africa in days gone by.
