Paratroopers Brigade’s Anthem
Until the early 2000s, the official paratroopers' anthem was "Paratrooper's Song,” originally performed by the Central Command Company. In 2003, the brigade commander at the time, Major General Aviv Kochavi, invited Ehud Manor and Rami Kleinstein to create a new anthem. Manor wrote the words and Kleinstein composed the music, and the song "All the time Paratrooper,” was established as the official anthem of the Paratroopers Brigade.
“I swear!”
The Red Brigade held the swearing-in ceremony at the Western Wall plaza, and it was the first to do so after its fighters liberated the Old City from the Jordanians during the Six-Day War. In addition, the regiment's brigade journey ends at a significant heritage point from the battle for Jerusalem, which is Ammunition Hill.
