aksi parasut atau layang militer untuk menempatkan personel atau persediaan.
membawa personel, peralatan, atau persediaan.
dikaitkan kepada tentara italia pada november 1927.
pasukan lintas udara atau linud merupakan suatu satuan militer yang biasanya terdiri dari infantri ringan dimana satuan ini dibentuk untuk bisa dikirim ke pertempuran melalui pesawat terbang, biasanya dengan menggunakan parasut.
oleh karenanya, satuan ini bisa ditempatkan di belakang garis musuh, dan juga memiliki kemampuan untuk disebar hampir dimanapun dengan sedikit peringatan kepada musuh.
formasi ini hanya dibatasi oleh jumlah dan ukuran dari pesawat yang digunakan, jadi dengan kapasitas yang cukup suatu pasukan dapat muncul "entah dari mana" dalam beberapa menit, dalam suatu aksi yang diistilahkan sebagai serbuan udara.
sebaliknya, pasukan lintas udara biasanya tidak memiliki peralatan dan persediaan yang cukup untuk operasi tempur berjangka lama.
oleh karena itu satuan ini lebih cocok digunakan untuk operasi tumpuan udara yang rentang waktunya relatif lebih pendek daripada pendudukan jangka panjang.
lebih lagi, operasi parasut utamanya sensitif terhadap kondisi cuaca buruk.
kemajuan dalam teknologi helikopter sejak perang dunia ii telah meningkatkan keluwesan terhadap lingkup operasi lintas udara, dan serbuan udara telah banyak menggantikan operasi parasut berskala besar, juga hampir sepenuhnya menggantikan operasi pesawat layang.
