Unit History & Information
The 187th Glider Infantry Regiment was activated at Camp Mackall in February 1943 as part of the 11th Airborne Division. It served in the Pacific during World War II and later participated in the occupation of Japan, where its airborne training gave rise to the Rakkasan nickname. Reorganized as an airborne regimental combat team in 1950, the unit made combat parachute assaults in Korea. Later generations of Rakkasans served with the 101st Airborne Division, linking the glider and parachute era to the helicopter air-assault identity reflected in this design.
