1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment

The 1st Battalion, 508th Infantry, had previously acted as the 173rd Airborne Brigade's primary deployable unit, based at Vicenza, Italy. It was organized and equipped as an Airborne Battalion Combat Team. Backed by supporting artillery, signal, medical, aviation and transportation units, the compact yet formidable 1-508th ABCT gave the Southeast European Task Force (SETAF) a significant "forced-entry" capability. That ability to put troops and equipment on the ground quickly, whether to fight, rescue imperiled civilians or support peacekeeping operations, had made SETAF a vital part of General Eric K. Shinseki's vision for the 21st-century Army.
