Of the equipment, doctrinal and formation failures in the Ukraine war, using para and air mobile units (as para or airmobile units) are probably top 2. All the air mobile units from both sides are being rerolled into proper mechanized formations. Para should be reserved for SOF and that's it. Because air mobile units are dead before arrival in that kind of air denial environment.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine has a history of effective use of either of those.
While for LSCO’s in high threat areas they definitely need to operate on the periphery, the mobility and flexibility they do offer is hard to beat.
More importantly for areas of low AD threat especially in the competition arena before conflict the ability to insert forces with speed and shock that other means do not.

2 bde would also make sense since the QoR is our only ARes jump infantry which could act as a feeder unit of augmentee's to a jump battalion. Benefit to is the QoR is the highest strength ARes unit in the country and is capable of a large amount of support to a reg force jump unit.
