      The Phantom Airborne Brigade (PAB) is a nonprofit organization established in 1996, with origins dating back to 1980 as the Phantom Airborne Battalion. Founded by military-trained, airborne-qualified personnel of all ranks, PAB provides a platform for active duty, retired, and veteran paratroopers to continue parachuting in a manner consistent with their military training. The organization has successfully completed over 20,000 descents without equipment malfunctions, surpassing any other civilian round canopy group. Membership is limited to military-trained airborne personnel worldwide.

      Operating as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization based in Florida, PAB is entirely volunteer-driven, with all resources dedicated to supporting its mission and enhancing the airborne community. The brigade fosters a safe environment for paratroopers to share experiences and maintain the unique airborne spirit. PAB encourages military-trained paratroopers from any nation to join their drop zones, offering camaraderie and a sense of belonging among like-minded individuals.
