Co A 1st ABN BG 504th Inf 7th US Army

Company A, 1st Airborne Battle Group, 504th Infantry was a distinguished unit of the 7th United States Army during the Cold War era. Originally tracing its heritage to the famed 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment of World War II, the unit was reorganized in the late 1950s as part of the Army’s Pentomic structure, designed to operate on the nuclear battlefield. Stationed in Europe, Co A served as a rapid deployment airborne infantry force, maintaining readiness to respond to crises alongside NATO allies. Throughout its service with the 7th Army, the unit upheld the proud traditions of the 504th, demonstrating flexibility and professionalism until further reorganization in the early 1960s.
