187th of the 101st
Rakasans lead the way!
The Rakkasans are still considered the premier brigade combat team in the 101st despite that they were part of the 11th Airborne Division in WWII and the 506th Infantry Regiment is back in the 101st as the new 4th Brigade Combat Team. Generals William Westmoreland, Norman Schwarzkopf, and David Petraeus are all Rakkasans as is CSM Basil Plumley of "We Were Soldiers Once and Young" fame.

4th brigade on ftcky sucked for the 1st 2 years when it stood up here as a unit
in late 04 and early 05
1st 2nd and 3rd brigades
toliet bowl flushed their units of all the problem children and non performers
and that is how 4th brigade got all its soldiers at 1st
and that is the truth........................
the normal replacement system took until right around mid 06 to late06 to start putting soldiers in that bridgade of the same caliber of the rest of the brigades from army wide pcs moves
they are up to speed like the other brigades
none of them are different from the others
just aura
to tell the truth
they all are excellent units
