Utin Jääkärirykmentti (UTJR) is the primary site for the training of Special, paratrooper operations-qualified Jaegers and also helicopter crew and personnel for army (land forces) aviation. Utin Jääkärirykmentti (Utti Jaeger Regiment) is located in Utti.
The army's so-called special operations capable troops, the Special Jaegers, receive their training mainly in the Paratrooper School located within the regiment. The support company (tukikomppania) handles the normal logistical day-to-day tasks within the regiment, and thus does not partake in the rigorous training of the paratroopers nor the demanding training of the helicopter crews.
