They didn't. It would be a huge surprise to these guys , as they have no paratroop gear (like parachutes!). They are probably just being airlifted in (as where the Chindits).

Status: offline 		If they were paradropped, they would land headless.  Paratroops don't wear flanged helmets because the air resistance when they are dropping puts a lot of strain on the neck.  I've read the Germans found this out the hard way when developing their paratroops in the 1930s.

How do you know? They use static lines for para drops too.
