Detailed description is This is the official facebook page for the 3-509th IN BN..
http://socialmedia.defense.gov/index.php/about/user-agreement/ The history of the 3-509th begins with the creation of the 504th Parachute Infantry Battalion.
Originally constituted on March 14, 1941 Company A, 504th Parachute Infantry Battalion was officially activated on October 5, 1941 at Fort Benning, Georgia.
The 504th moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina for training in February 1942.
There it joined with the 503rd Parachute Infantry Battalion to form the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment.
On 24 February 1942, the 504th became Company D, 503rd PIR.
The 503rd sailed to Scotland in June 1942, becoming the first parachute unit to go overseas in World War II.
It was attached to the British 1st Airborne Division for training.
The training included mass tactical jumps from C-47 aircraft at 350 feet, extensive night training, speed marching for 10 miles to and from the training area daily and, on one occasion, 32 miles in 11 hours.
On 2 November, the 503rd was staging for Operation Torch, where it would spearhead the allied invasion of North Africa.
On that day, as C-47's flew over the English countryside, the 503rd was redesignated Company D, 509th Parachute Infantry.
The 509th paratroopers were ready to jump into history�s most devastating war with the first American airborne assault..
.
Operation Torch, which began on 8 November 1942, was the longest airborne operation ever attempted, up to that point.
The 509th flew in C-47s over 1600 miles from England to seize Tafarquay Airport in Oran, Algeria by parachute assault.
One week later, after repacking their own chutes (every man was his own rigger), the battalion conducted its second combat jump on 15 November 1942 to secure the airfield at Youk-Les-Bains near the Tunisian border.
From this base the battalion conducted combined operations with various French forces against the German Afrika Korps in Tunisia.
One unit, the 3rd Regiment of Zouaves (French Algerian Infantry), awarded their own Regimental Crest as a gesture of respect to the American Paratroopers.
This badge was awarded to the battalion commander on 15 November 1942 by the 3rd Zouaves' Regimental Commander and is, to this day, authorized for wear by all members of the 509th Infantry..
.
The invasion of Italy began in September 1943 with an amphibious assault at Salerno.
The 509th was initially in reserve with the 82nd Airborne Division in Sicily until the Italian beachhead was in danger.
On 14 September, while the 82nd Airborne Division dropped inside American lines to reinforce the beachhead, the 509th jumped behind enemy lines to cut supply trains leading to the German defensive positions.
On its third parachute assault at Avellino, Italy the 509th found their DZ had been occupied the night before by the 6th German Armored Panzer Division.
After landing directly on the 6th Panzer Division, the 509th operated independently for some two weeks behind German lines in company and platoon size elements.
Despite its inability to fight as a unified battalion, the 509th successfully carried out its mission by creating havoc in the German rear area.
Separate units scrounged for food and water among the Italian civilians until the unit finally reassembled in Salerno on 28 September 1943.
Total casualties were 123 killed or captured including the 509th commander and his entire staff..
.
On 10 December 1943 the battalion was reorganized and redesignated Company A, 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion, and recognized as an independent unit.
During this period, October through December 1943, the battalion operated with Darby' s Rangers, and fought as Mountain Infantry in the high ground above Venafro, Italy.
The next major operation for the 509th was an amphibious assault (represented by the fifth arrowhead on our unit crest) at Anzio, Italy, on 21 January 1944.
Still operating with Darby's Rangers, the 509th was in the first assault wave of the invasion force.
The Rangers sent two battalions against an elite German Armored Division on the beachhead, while the 509th was assigned a critical defensive position which they held despite heavy losses.
For its heroic actions in stopping the desperate German counterattack at Carano, Italy, the 509th was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, the first parachute unit so honored.
In addition to the battalion award of 29 February, Charlie Company won a second Presidential Unit Citation for a night attack on 14 March.
It was in these skirmishes near Carano, Italy that Corporal Paul B.
Huff became the first and only 509th paratrooper to be awarded the Medal of Honor..
.
After Anzio, on 14 August 1944, the 509th conducted its fourth parachute assault at Le Muy, once again spearheading the allied invasion into southern France.
December 1944 saw the 509th attached to the 101st Airborne Division in time for the Battle of the Bulge.
In another defensive mission, against incredible odds, the 509th held out from 22-30 December at Sadzot, Belgium, against two Panzer Grenadier Battalions, both elite German mechanized infantry units, and earned the battalion its second Presidential Unit Citation.
In January, tasked with an offensive mission, the 509th advanced in the hills of St.
Vith, Belgium, capturing and holding critical high ground for the passage of the 7th Armored Division.
After the action, this left only seven officers and forty-eight enlisted men in the entire battalion, the 509th fell victim to reorganization one last time.
Toward the end of World War II, separate Parachute Infantry Battalions were no longer considered necessary, and the 509th was disbanded on 1 March 1944, with the survivors and returning wounded being sent to the 82nd or 13th Airborne Divisions as replacements.
The 509th was later reconstituted on 12 May 1947 in the Regular Army as Company A, 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion, and redesignated on 27 March 1963 as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 509th Infantry, with subsequent assignment to the 8th Infantry Division.
.
.
In January 1973, the 3rd Battalion of the 509th Infantry was activated.
At the same time, the existing 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 509th Infantry were designated as dual-capable, mechanized and airborne.
To provide greater mobility to the Mediterranean area, the 3rd Battalion of the 509th Infantry was redesignated as the 1st Battalion of the 509th Infantry (Airborne Battalion Combat Team.) On 1 September 1973, the 509th was relieved from assignment to the 8th Army and subsequently moved to Vicenza, Italy.
In 1975, one company of the 509th moved to the continental United States to fill the requirement for a company sized Airborne/ Pathfinder unit to support the United States Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
The redesignation of the 509th Airborne Battalion Combat Team in Italy as the 4th Battalion, 325th Infantry in July 1983 left C Company, 509th Infantry (Airborne/Pathfinder) as the only remaining unit of the Regiment.
In May of 1993 509th was relieved from assignment in Army training and Doctrine Command and 1-509th PIR began duties as the permanent OPFOR at Ft.
Polk�s JRTC..
.
Nearly a decade later, the 509th once again unfurled its colors to serve in the Global War on Terror.
3-509th Infantry (ABN) was activated on 16 September 2005 to join America�s only airborne brigade in the Pacific theater.
And in October 2006, deployed to Iraq join the Global War on Terror.
Just as the 509th paratroopers of the Second World War, the 509th once again stands ready to fight anytime anywhere to defend American freedom.
