The Brigada de Fusileros Paracaidistas (Parachute Riflemen Brigade), also known as Chutes, is the Mexican Army premier airborne light infantry unit similar to the 75th Ranger Regiment and the British SFSG.

[citation needed] The brigade is currently headquartered at Santa Lucia Mexican Air Force Base N-1, State of Mexico and is composed of a headquarters company, one special missions unit (operationally under EMCDN command), a logistics company, an airborne training center, and three parachute riflemen battalions.

The plan consisted of sending a group of officers and regular servicemen to Fort Benning, Georgia to be trained as paratroopers.

[citation needed] The new unit was based in Balbuena Military Camp, carrying out their first jump over Mexican territory on September 15, 1946.

On February 15, 1947, the unit was reorganized into the "Compañía de Aerotropas" ( Airtrooper Company ) and re-established in Military Camp No.1 in the Federal District.
