Решение о создании войск ВДВ принятое, весной 1948 года была продиктована требованием увеличения воздушно-десантных войск в Индокитае. Было создано 2 батальона парашютистов из состава иностранного Легиона. Выбор Легионеров вначале вызывал сомнение.

Название: French Foreign Legion Paratroops
Автор: Martin Windrow
Год: 1985
The decision, in Spring 1948, to form two battalions of Foreign Legion paratroopers was prompted by the requirement for enlarged airborne forces in the First Indochina War (1946), and the healthy recruitment then employed by the Legion. There were some initial doubts. The Legion were known to be magnificent heavy infantry, but were felt by some to lack the flexibility and agility demanded by independent airborne operations. In the Legion itself there were some misgivings over the possible clash between the self-consciously exclusive para mentality, and the Legions own very marked ?sprit de corps. Over time, however, all these doubts evaporated with experience.
