Actually, that's wrong. What you're talking about is a paratrooper.

A paramilitary is a semi-militarized force whose organizational structure, tactics, training, subculture, and function are similar to those of a professional military, but which is not included as part of a state's formal armed forces. (straight from Wikipedia, couldn't have explained it better myself)

A good comparison would be to that of Mercenaries or PMC's like the LMB.
