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, already serving within the 80th Division.
The Paran Brigade is unique to the rest of the IDF divisions as a regional and regular brigade.
Mission
Paran Brigade members
The mission of the Paran Brigade is twofold: border surveillance and defense, and internal training of the troops assigned. The protection of the Israeli-Egyptian border is from Eliat to Holot Halutza with Egypt’s Sinai, and, according to Andrea Spada, particularly the area extending from the Nitsana border.
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 shoulders.
