Unit History & Information
The 173d Airborne Brigade was activated on Okinawa in 1963 as a separate airborne brigade. In May 1965, it became the first major U.S. Army combat unit to deploy to Vietnam. Known as the Sky Soldiers, the brigade built a history that included the combat parachute assault during Operation Junction City in 1967. On March 26, 2003, nearly 1,000 of its Paratroopers jumped into northern Iraq, adding another combat airborne operation to that record.
