Airborne Assault is the new museum for The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces. Its objectives are

• The education of the public and service personnel about the history, deeds, traditions and the role of The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces.

• The promotion of military efficiency by assisting recruitment and retention and fostering the esprit de corps of The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces.

• The commemoration and remembrance of those members of The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces who have died while in service and the encouragement of public recognition of the sacrifice made by such persons.

In 2008, the Museum moved from its original site at Browning Barracks, Aldershot where it had been since 1969. The new Airborne Forces Museum, rebranded as Airborne Assault, is located at Duxford in partnership with Imperial War Museum.
