Initially formed as the 73rd Tank Battalion, it provided armored support during World War II and the Korean War. In the 1960s, the unit was reorganized as the 73rd Armor Regiment, with its 3rd Battalion (Airborne) equipped with M551 Sheridan tanks to support the 82nd Airborne Division. This battalion participated in various operations, including the invasion of Panama in 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 2000s, the regiment was restructured as the 73rd Cavalry Regiment, focusing on reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) missions. Its squadrons were integral to the 82nd Airborne Division's Brigade Combat Teams, providing critical intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities. However, by July 2024, the regiment's squadrons were deactivated as part of the Army's restructuring efforts. The 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, held its inactivation ceremony on July 31, 2024, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, marking the end of its service.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-01-22T12:03:38-05:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"373AR"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2024-01-07T19:37:18-05:00","alt":null,"width":300,"height":240,"src":"\/\/airborneapparelcompany.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/3_73_UNIT_COLLECTION_HEADER.png?v=1713182081"}},{"id":177335664719,"handle":"4th-battalion-68th-armor-regiment-light-airborne","title":"4th Battalion, 68th Armor (Light) (ABN)","updated_at":"2025-09-23T07:05:19-04:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore (and after) there was a 3\/73, there was the 4\/68th.

Organized at Camp Sheridan, Alabama, from personnel of the 46th Infantry, the regiment was demobilized on February 15, 1919, without having seen overseas service during World War I. On October 1, 1933, it was reconstituted as the 68th Infantry Regiment (Light Tanks), absorbing the lineages of several tank companies. The regiment underwent multiple reorganizations and redesignations, eventually becoming the 68th Armor Regiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong its storied units, the 4th Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, has had a significant role in the regiment's history. It served as part of various mechanized and armored formations during its active years. The 4th Battalion was particularly notable for its contributions during operations in Iraq, demonstrating versatility in modern armored combat. Despite the eventual deactivation of the 4th Battalion, its legacy remains a key part of the regiment’s history. Currently, the 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, continues the regiment’s legacy of excellence in armored warfare, serving under the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-12-20T10:56:51-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"468Armor"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2024-01-07T19:34:32-05:00","alt":null,"width":300,"height":240,"src":"\/\/airborneapparelcompany.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/4_68_ARMOR_ABN_UNIT_COLLECTION_HEADER.png?v=1713519473"}},{"id":160060145743,"handle":"fort-bragg","title":"Back to Bragg","updated_at":"2025-09-23T12:59:14-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-02-03T07:45:00-05:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"division-unit-collection","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"B2B"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2020-02-03T07:51:29-05:00","alt":null,"width":2400,"height":1260,"src":"\/\/airborneapparelcompany.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Fort_Bragg_Sign.jpg?v=1713012693"}},{"id":407416570095,"handle":"breaking-starch","title":"Breaking Starch","updated_at":"2025-09-23T13:37:57-04:00","body_html":"Our newest additions.","published_at":"2023-02-01T09:55:24-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":".25"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Phantom"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"Hechinger"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"penguin"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":466947735791,"handle":"loddy-doddy-everybody","title":"Loddy-doddy-everybody","updated_at":"2025-09-23T13:37:57-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2025-04-13T16:57:59-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":".01"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":399380185327,"handle":"best-sellinng","title":"Our Best Selling Airborne Shirts","updated_at":"2025-09-23T13:33:55-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2022-07-21T18:28:17-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"T-Shirt"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":431055503599,"handle":"t-shirts","title":"T-Shirts","updated_at":"2025-09-23T07:05:19-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-05-15T07:47:40-04:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"T-shirts"}],"published_scope":"global"}]

Everything we sell is produced in house, on demand to ensure quality and production flexibility. Production time for most orders is 2-3 business days. We post current production time at the top of each page on our website.
Production and shipping times are sometimes longer during the holidays and other traditionally busy times (I.e., leading up to All-American Week). But the majority of our orders arrive within 7 business days.
SHIPPING TIMES ARE IN ADDITION TO PRODUCTION TIME. Selecting faster shipping will move your order through the delivery process faster, but it does not expedite the production process. While we offer several shipping options (standard USPS, Priority Mail, UPS Ground, etc.) once orders enter the mail stream via USPS/UPS, their transit time is out of our control. We will absolutely work with you to help track down a lost or long-delayed package and may, at our discretion, replace or refund a lost order.
If it's been more than 5 business days since you received your tracking information and have not yet received your package, feel free to contact us using the link in the order confirmation email. Please review the tracking information prior to contacting us as that is the same information we'll be reviewing- we don't have access to any deeper information than our customers do when it comes to tracking packages.
If you have any questions, you can always use our contact form or email us directly at sales@airborneapparelcompany.com
