Unit History & Information
The 2nd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment served at Fort Kobbe, Panama, in the 1980s before being inactivated there in July 1987. That September, it was activated at Fort Campbell as part of the 101st Airborne Division. The Rakkasan Raiders identity on this design belongs to the battalion’s place in the regiment’s later history. The 187th itself began as glider infantry in 1943, served in the Pacific with the 11th Airborne Division, and gained the Rakkasan nickname during the occupation of Japan. Its regimental combat team subsequently made combat parachute assaults in Korea.
