Unit History & Information
The Army constituted the battalion on November 12, 1942, and activated it on February 25, 1943, at Camp Mackall, North Carolina. Assigned to the 11th Airborne Division, it earned campaign credit for New Guinea, Leyte, and Luzon. The Luzon entry carries an assault-landing arrowhead.
The battalion was inactivated in Germany in 1958. It returned in 1963 with the 11th Air Assault Division (Test) at Fort Benning, then was inactivated again in 1965. This experimental chapter belongs between its wartime service and its much later association with the 82nd. The 127th was activated on October 16, 2013, as an element of 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, at Fort Bragg. Army coverage of the ceremony describes the transition from the brigade's special troops battalion organization.
