Republic of China Taiwan Senior Parachute Wing

The Republic of China Taiwan Senior Parachute Wing is an official military insignia awarded to personnel of the Republic of China Armed Forces who have completed advanced parachute training and met established criteria for proficiency. The design typically features a stylized pair of outspread wings with a central parachute motif, and often includes a star or similar device above the parachute to denote senior qualification. The insignia is constructed from metal, with a pin attachment on the reverse for wear on uniforms. It serves as recognition of enhanced parachuting skills beyond the basic qualification and is worn by members of airborne units and related special operations forces. The Senior Parachute Wing reflects both operational achievement and the holder’s experience in airborne operations within the ROC military. These insignia are of interest to collectors of Taiwanese militaria and serve as historical artifacts representing Taiwan’s airborne forces.
