You're probably right -- we can both pick on the Puddy Tat Brigahde...
Just to keep Tom Odom alert.
Exactly...

And the "Oh Nine?" They never acknowledged another regiment as being...well, they never acknowledged another regiment.

And sad
Devils all the way!!!!!
The most deployed BCT, and the most assault landing credits in its elements (check it out, A/3-319 made the jump in Vietnam), plus Panama. I don't know how the jump by B/3-504 works, since they've been deactivated.

Don't hate; It's very un-becoming. Not everyone can be a panther.You're probably right -- we can both pick on the Puddy Tat Brigahde...

I think we need to rename this the hater thread. I see we're getting a lot of commentary from 3-325 "Blue Falcons" where buddy is only half the wordThe 505 is the Division Darlings and deservedly so
And CR6, if remember correctly, that scandal back in the late 1990's over paratroopers cross-dressing came out of 1st Brigade.
Bring It.

The brigades were "regimentalized" in '85 or '86. In 1st Brigade 2/508 became 3/504 and in 3rd Brigade 1/508 became 3/505.I was B/2-504 didn't even have a 3/504 anything in my day.
It's changed again since then. There are now four brigades of two battlions each, so 1/508 and 2/508 came back as 4th Brigade and the other brigades each lost their third battalion.
Makes zero sense to me. I would have thought that there were always times when two battalions in a brigade were enough and always times when four were needed. Didn't three prove to be a good number to task organize up or down from for a lot of years?
I'd be curious to know how often it's been necessary to deploy one of these new brigades with another battalion opconned to them.
