143rd Infantry Regiment airborne insignia with Master Parachutist wings, printed on the left chest.
The 143rd Infantry Regiment’s Texas roots extend to the Third Regiment of Infantry, Texas Volunteer Guard, organized in 1880. In 1917, the Third and Fifth Texas Infantry regiments combined to form the 143rd Infantry within the 36th Division. The regiment fought in France during World War I and earned Meuse-Argonne campaign credit.
In World War II, the 143rd landed at Salerno and fought through Italy before taking part in the invasion of southern France and the advance into Germany. The regiment’s airborne heritage is carried by its 1st Battalion, which reactivated at Waco in September 2010. The AIRBORNE tab and Texas arrowhead insignia in this design reflect that airborne connection.
