Difference between Paratrooper and Pathfinder (military)

Paratrooper vs. Pathfinder (military)

Paratroopers are military parachutists—military personnel trained in parachuting into an operation and usually functioning as part of an airborne force. In military organizations, a pathfinder is a specialized soldier inserted or dropped into place in order to set up and operate drop zones, pickup zones, and helicopter landing sites for airborne operation, air resupply operations, or other air operations in support of the ground unit commander.

Air assault

Air assault is the movement of ground-based military forces by vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft—such as the helicopter—to seize and hold key terrain which has not been fully secured, and to directly engage enemy forces behind enemy lines.
