1st Airborne Task Force is an Allies C-rated Infantry division in Steel Division II, available in the Men of Steel DLC.

The multinational 1st Airborne Task Force briefly operated during the Allied invasion of Southern France in the summer of 1944. With a combat drop during Operation Dragoon, the notorious Canadian-American 1st Special Service Force, known as the Devil’s Brigade, was part of this battlegroup. The 1st Airborne Task Force’s rank and file are paratroopers and special forces of a wide variety, from British Paras, American Pathfinders, Glider troops and assault groups, to elite Canadian Forcemen. The Allied Ace, Tommy Prince, is featured as a Forcemen Scout. While lacking heavy weaponry, the formation relies on powerful air support to even the odds, including B-25 Mitchell bombers, F-5 Hellcats, Seafire FR Mk. III recon fighters and Beaufighters. The 1st Airborne Task Force excels in fighting up close and personal thanks to its well-equipped and experienced airborne and recon forces.
