Five years later, in 1965, a paratroopers corps was created within the Army, with the first instructors and packers trained in Pau and Montauban respectively, followed in 1966 by the creation of the <em>Centre de Livraison par Air et d\u2019Entrainement au Sol &#8211; C.LA.E.S <\/em>(air delivery and land training centre). It was from this date that Cameroon fully embraced parachuting.<\/p>\n<p>The Parachute Company (CP) under the command of Captain ABDOULAYE OUMAROU GAROUA was created in 1968. Two (02) years later, the CLAES and the CP formed the <em>Groupement A\u00e9roport\u00e9<\/em> <em>&#8211; GAP<\/em> (airborne unit), which became the <em>Forces d\u2019Intervention<\/em> (intervention forces) in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>The Airborne Troops Battalion (BTAP) which replaced the Intervention Forces (FI), was created on 03 November 1983. It was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel BOMBACK Guillaume, followed by Colonels MENGO Jean Paul, DEMA Joseph, ETOUNDI Blaise, EYENGA S\u00e9verin, Lieutenant Colonels MVONDO Martin, NDZANA FOUDA Ars\u00e8ne, Colonels MEZUI 70\u2019O Elie Romance and NSONG Serge Aim\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Structural transformation was accompanied by material transformation. Thus we moved from the TAP661-12 to the French 696-29H dorsal parachute via the Israeli Tsabar. These were paired with the TAP 501 and TAP 511 reserve parachutes. The EL 32, 33 and 34 were used to carry the individual equipment of the fighter.<\/p>\n<p>For free-fall landings, the following parachutes were used in succession: TAP 656, TAP 687 Papillon, American Spirit and French Vectra wing parachutes, Atom 35 and Atom legend M. For safety equipment, the KP3, Cypress 2, Vigil2 and Cypress multifunction were used.<\/p>\n<p>For air deliveries, we switched from the ARZ to the UPL (314 L), all French.<\/p>\n<p>For air deliveries, the battalion was equipped with various types of TR 800, AMR 715 and 716 for accompanying parcels, and G12 and G12 D for parcels weighing more than 300 kg. The different types of sheath: GC 17, GC 23, GC 24, etc. are also associated with these equipment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
