Para-capable Guerillas

I am curious as to why there are Para-Capable guerilla units for the Republican side. Is this an abstraction for other purposes?

The reality is that neither side did any para drops during the war.

As far as the Guerillas, the Republicans did invest in small Guerilla teams, though they infiltrated into Nationalist territory on foot. Maybe they had air-dropped supplies? Not sure, but they definitely moved on the ground.

Why the Paras?

Okay, this hasn't been answered yet.

If the guerilla teams infiltrated by foot then they would show up on the map and could be intercepted by land units. By air dropping them, they can just show up behind in the enemies rear areas.
