While it might have been the last combat jump for the US Military, of note is the French Foreign Legion and Pakistan who have done combat jumps in the last 5 years. The Pakistani's have actually done it twice, in early 2009 during Operation Black Thunderstorm and then later that year for Rad Nijat or something?
Last year the French captured Timbuktu through the use of Paratroopers.
In 89 the Indians used paratroopers in a preemptive strike against Pakistan.
The Rhodesians used paratroopers regularly in their Counter-Insurgency operations (but this was back in the 60s/70s). Look up the Rhodesian Firestorm tactics It's an interesting read if any of you care. Basically they would get reports of insurgent activity, their helicopter forces that were in the air would move to that location, drop their troops and suppress with gunships, then a platoon of paratroopers would come in. They would sometimes be doing ~3 drops a week.
