    Dear Samuel Rother,

     

    The Military Parachute Badge (French: Brevet parachutiste militaire (BPM)) is the standard course for every personnel in airborne units and all graduates of the école spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr. It was created in 1946 and is awarded for six jumps, three daylight standard jumps, one daylight jump with the reserve parachute, one night jump without equipment, one night jump with full gear and equipment.

     

    Foreigners can get it.

    You can see one here, on the uniform of a capitaine de gendarmerie :

     

     

    Yours sincerely,

    No one
