About: Paramarines

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Paramarines (also known as Marine paratroopers) was a short-lived specialized combat unit of the United States Marine Corps, trained to be dropped from planes by parachute. Marine parachute training which began in New Jersey in October 1940 ended with the parachute units being disbanded at Camp Pendleton, California in February 1944. Paratroopers received a significantly increased salary after completing training, so there was no shortage of volunteers, although all were required to be unmarried. Standards of fitness were high, and 40% failed the training course.

  • Les Paramarines (aussi connus le nom de Marine paratroopers) formaient une branche, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de l'United States Marine Corps spécialisée et entraînée à mener des assauts aéroportés. L'entraînement de ces unités a débuté dans le New Jersey d'octobre 1940 jusqu'à leur désactivation à Camp Pendleton en février 1944. Les Paramarines recevaient une solde plus importante que les autres Marines, il était cependant requis qu'ils ne soient pas mariés. Le recrutement s'opérait par le biais de Marines volontaires et triés sur le volet et plus de 40 % des candidats au régiment échouaient finalement à compléter leur formation en raison des conditions physiques élevées exigées.

  • I Paramarines (noti anche come Marine paratroopers) furono una unità specializzata dell'United States Marine Corps, i cui uomini erano addestrati al lancio col paracadute. I primi paramarines furono addestrati nell'ottobre 1940, ma l'unità fu sciolta nel febbraio 1944. L'indennità di lancio percepita dopo la formazione ed il prestigio del reparto spinsero molti a fare domanda per entrare nell'unità, che ammetteva solo uomini non sposati. I requisiti fisici richiesti erano elevati, tanto che il 40% dei candidati non superava le selezioni. (it)
