ROYAL LAO AIRBORNE MISSION STATEMENT
We are a dedicated team of like-minded volunteers. We encourage all members to be jump qualified, complete the Raider, Jungle, and Desert courses, and be competent in field skills and survival tactics. We serve to function in disaster and other emergency management operations and to replenish, relieve and provide manpower supplies and overall support for city, state, and nationwide disasters and emergency situations.
NOTE: Each battalion may develop its own Mission Statement based on its anticipated duties during a local, state, or national emergency.
The mission of the Royal Lao Airborne is to:
- Preserve the fame and glory of the Royal Lao Airborne
- Provide training assistance (Raiders – Jungle – Academy)
- Provide humanitarian aid to Lao refugees
- Assist FEMA in disaster-related activities
It is also charged to maintain and strengthen the bonds of comradeship, which distinguish the members of the Royal Lao Airborne, to continue to develop the bond between current and past Airborne forces of the world, to provide for the gathering and dissemination of information concerning those members.
Royal Lao Airborne (RLA) has a long and amazing history going back over 60 years.
The Royal Lao Airborne in the United States was founded on September 3, 2001.
From it’s beginnings in the 1950’s through today, the RLA has been, and will continue to be, a group of professionals who exhibit military bearing, hold true the core values and who put others before themselves.
