Unit Reveal - Airborne Pathfinders

This time, we have a small, but important, unit of Pathfinders:

Pathfinders were volunteers who received special training to set up and operate navigational helps. Their units also contained bodyguards, whose job it was to defend the pathfinders (and the designated drop zone) during set up.
The night of D-Day marked the first combat jump for the Pathfinder units. Just after midnight on June 6th, 1944, around 200 of them became the first Allied soldiers on the ground. But bad weather and heavy air defense scattered their planes and even when they found their targets, those were often heavily defended and in some cases flooded.
The pathfinders redeemed their value during Operation Market Garden, when they guided the Allied paratroopers to their targets in the Netherlands. After that, two sticks of Pathfinders would parachute into Bastogne during Battle of the Bulge to set up beacons for supply drops.
