I seem to recall that a company of the 504th made a jump in Afghanistan in 2002 or 2003 for which they were credited with a combat parachute assault.

I seem to recall that a company of the 504th made a jump in Afghanistan in 2002 or 2003 for which they were credited with a combat parachute assault.Barry I believe you are right and IIRC that was the 25 Feb 03 airdrop. What is funny about that is that I was at Bagram at that time and didn't find out about it until almost a year later. The 82nd was right across the street from us but I never knew about it. Either that was some good OPSEC or I was just clueless since I was working in the CJSOTF-A J2 at the time.
