The Joint Services Parachute Centre in Bad Lippspringe, Germany is due to close next year. A 13% cut was imposed on the budget of the Adventurous Training Group Army and so at the end of March, the military side of this centre will close. Although jumping on the site is set to continue, the closure will mean the end of military parachute training there after 40 years. Forces News joined the final recruits.
