British airborne operations in North Africa were conducted by the British 1st Parachute Brigade as part of the Tunisian Campaign of World War II over the period between November 1942 and April 1943. The first British airborne forces were formed in June, 1940, on the orders of the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and a single parachute battalion was created from a retrained British Commando unit. Despite its first mission being a failure, the battalion was expanded to become 1st Parachute Brigade in October 1941. Within a year, the airborne establishment had been further expanded into the 1st Airborne Division. When planning began for the invasion of North Africa in 1942, it was decided to attach the 1st Parachute Brigade to the Allied forces taking part, as an American airborne unit was also to be used during the invasion. After a short period of training and being brought up to operational strength, the brigade was deployed to North Africa in November 1942.
