Errors in Belgian OOB

[Smersh]

The Belgian OBB does not have any paratroop company formations.

Instead there is an odd looking platoon formation (244).

There is a ParaCommando company formation (261), but this formation is only avialable until 1956. This is odd, considering a Paracommando regiment took part in operations in Congo in 1964, and as far as I know agian in 1978.

"The Paracommandos, or paras as they referred to themselves, became a single regiment in 1952. The 1er Bataillon Parachutists SAS, which evolved from the 1st Belgian SAS Squadron of World War II, and the 1er Bataillon Commando, formerly a troop of the 10th Interallied Commando, were unified and redesignated as the Belgian Paracommando Regiment. Many of its members had served with the Belgian contingent in Korea. During the next eight years, the regiment served both as a NATO unit and as the Belgian Army's principal shock force in the Congo. In 1964, the regiment consisted of three battalions: the 1st Parachute Battalion, the 2d Commando Battalion, and the 3d Parachute Battalion. In addition, the regiment contained a regimental headquarters, the Commando Training Center, and the Parachute Training Center. Despite the different unit designations, each battalion received the same training and missions"
