The PTS is based adjacent to HMAS Albatross, Nowra, New South Wales.[1] HistoryThe first parachute training unit was formed in 1942 designated the Paratroop Training Unit (PTU) and at the end of the war was disbanded.[1] In 1951, the Parachute Training Wing was formed as a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) unit at RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales.[2][1] The unit's first Commanding Officer/Chief Instructor was Squadron Leader C.A.V. Bourne.[2] The instructors on the staff were both Army and RAAF personnel.[2] The first course of trainees commenced in September 1951.[2] In 1958, it was re-designated as the Parachute Training Flight.[1] The Army assumed responsibility for parachute training on 14 May 1974 and the school was renamed Parachute Training School, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Harry Smith.[2][1] The school relocated to Naval Air Station HMAS Albatross in 1986 and has continued its role there until the present.[2][1] Structure
