Airborne or Airmobile?
editI remember reading an article somewhere a while back that only members of the Brigade's Airmobile Artillery Squadron are parachute-qualified. In light of this, I recommend that this article be renamed to reflect the correct (and official) name of 71st Airmobile Infantry Brigade.Dragases (talk) 09:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

- Τhe brigade is known as "airmobile", never "airborne", so the whole title of the article must be changed. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this! If someone with the necessary skills reads this comment, please make the change and remove all mentions of "airborne".
- The distinction is important because the brigade trains to get into position by helicopters, not to jump out of planes with parachutes. As far as I know, conscript members of the brigade are not parachute trained. Also, parachute training is not just limited to people in this brigade; there are parachute-trained people all across the forces. By the way, their website is here: http://www.army.gr/structure/eg/dieuthinseis/71am/index_en.htmlNojamus (talk) 14:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
