4:502nd

The 4th Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment (4/502nd), known as the "Strike Force," is part of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) of the United States Army. Activated during the Vietnam War era, the battalion participated in major combat operations, including the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Hamburger Hill. After Vietnam, the 4/502nd was inactivated and reactivated several times, serving as a key element in the division's rapid-deployment and air assault capabilities. The unit’s soldiers have continued to serve with distinction in subsequent conflicts, including operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, upholding the proud legacy of the 502nd "Deuce Four" lineage.
