Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division *Recruiting*

Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment is one of the most well-known companies in the United States Army. Through many various leaders, and different battles throughout World War II, Easy Company has made its mark in history. Easy Company is publicized by books and even an HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers”, which is based on the book Band of Brothers by historian Stephen Ambrose. The 506th PIR was an experimental Airborne Regiment created in 1942 at Camp Toccoa Georgia. Easy Company missions were to be dropped from a C-47 Transport Airplane over various hostile territories. The units would parachute from the aircraft, and regroup once they had landed. The purpose of an experimental parachute regiment was to gain tactical advantage over the enemy; also as a fast access to wherever the unit needed to be mobilized.

The training for Easy Company was not an easy task. Besides attending the standard Airborne school, the unit had to perform battle drills and excruciating amounts of physical training. One of the more famous exercises performed physical training was the running of Currahee. Currahee was a large, steep hill, up which the men of Easy Company had to run on a regular basis.

Some songs for the AIRBORNE!

"From this day to the ending of the World, ...we in it shall be remembered...
we band of brothers" Henry V William Shakespear.

"Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna jump no more!"

"He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight.
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
You ain't gonna jump no more."

"We're Colonel Johnson's Troopers
We're fighters of the Night
We're dirty sonsabitches
We'd rather ♥♥♥♥ than fight!
Hi-Dee, Hi-Dee, Christ Almighty,
Who in the Hell are WE?
Rim-Ram, Gawd Damn, Parachute Infantry"
