The Airborne Training Program is designed to develop elite-level aerobic capacity, strength endurance, and injury resilience — exactly what you need to thrive in Parachute Regiment basic training and on P Company.

Your Training Will Include:
Zone 2 aerobic work to develop an efficient engine for sustained endurance
Running intervals to build speed, work capacity, and resilience under fatigue
Strength & conditioning sessions focused on total body strength and injury prevention
Load carriage sessions (weighted marches) for P Company candidates
