What do 4 PARA officers actually do? Is it the same as regulars? What are the educational requirements?
A few answers:
Airborne Student is no longer running, so all Officers who transfer across from Other units now have to complete All Arms PPS with 4 PARA - you have to be in an Airborne unit to complete now, so trying to get on the course from other AR units is a no go. IF you are Commissioning from the ranks, or transferring across you still have to pass 4 PARA RSB with the Commanding Officer.
The above statement is quite vague, however I will focus on the Platoon Commander role - All of the barrack responsibilities are the same, MPAR/SJAR, planning weekly training for Pln, working with Coy 2IC to develop training.
Role on exercise is tactical, writing/delivering orders and leading the Platoon.
RMR as far as I'm aware do not do the tactical side as Reserve Officers (happy to be advised otherwise)
Educational requirements are the same as Regular Officers.
