Because of the Panduras dropped covertly ahead of the main forces, they need to stand on their own undetected without support from the main forces. If compromised, the DZ and LZ are no go. Pandura members can act as snipers team with ability to relay information to aircraft pilot during operation. Pandura paratroopers use vital navigation equipment such as Operational Parachutist Navigational System (OPANAS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). They also use ground-to-air communication to communicate between themselves and aircraft for the main force drops. Pandura members carry same combat equipment as other 10 PARA's infantry.
