U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment—known as “First Rock”—stand ready to answer the nation’s call under the leadership of Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Travis H. Young (Eagle 6) and Command Sgt. Maj. Trevor O. Petsch (Eagle 7). From Vicenza, Italy, to the front lines, the battalion upholds a legacy of discipline, grit, and airborne tradition.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade serves as the U.S. Army’s Contingency Response Force in Europe, capable of rapidly deploying forces across the U.S. European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility.
