E co. 51st deactivation.....

Post by trazel187 »

This story is from the Hessen-Herald in Germany. I about cried when I heard it. I alot of guys can and probably will move to the RSTA or line battalions of the 173d if they don't want to experience leg land overseas here in Germany. This would be prime recruiting ground for SF also:


Last active-duty airborne unit in Germany inactivates in Darmstadt
By Amy Buenning Sturm
Company E, 51st Infantry inactivated April 17 in a ceremony at the Kelley Barracks parade field in Darmstadt. The long-range surveillance unit was the last active-duty airborne unit in Germany.
For many of the airborne infantry Soldiers present the ceremony was bittersweet, as it marked, in the words of 1st Lt. Gary W. Carty, the commander of Echo Company, "the end of our current association with this prestigious military unit,"
"It’s always sad to see an airborne unit go away," said Staff Sgt. Brian Brown, the unit historian. Brown joined the unit "downrange" in Iraq during its deployment in 2003, and served as platoon sergeant during the unit’s last tour to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
His fondest memory was serving at Iraq’s Syrian border, "it was kind of nice being out there with your platoon," he said.
After studying the unit’s history, Brown realized Echo Company had served the nation proudly during World War I, World War II, Vietnam, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo and Iraq, making it "the most decorated unit I’ve ever been in."
Echo Company was inactivated and then reactivated three times over the course of its history after its initial call to service in November 1917. Its Soldiers participated in 16 major campaigns throughout its history.
As 1st Sgt. William B. Halbrook pointed out following the inactivation, the Soldiers of Echo Company have been deployed in service to their nation for part of every year for the last 11 years, with the exception of 1996.
"That’s a lot for one company to shoulder, you know, over the past 11 years," he said, "I hate to see it go."
After the colors were cased at the conclusion of Echo Company’s fourth and perhaps final inactivation, Halbrook, Carty, and their Soldiers took comfort in the knowledge that the colors would be once again uncased on April 30 at Fort Bragg, N.C., where Company F, 51st Infantry would preserve the colors and legacy of the unit.
"Maybe in the future they will be uncased for another chapter," Halbrook said.
And, if the Army needs Echo 51st again? Carty is sure that, "it will be ready to answer the call as it did each and every time in the past."


(Of course there are still several airborne units in Germany like the 5th QM riggers, 10th group, and several battalions of the 173d in Bamberg and Schweinfurt, but none will replace this motley crew. I still feel this was the best unit I have been in and the location was awesome).
A 1/52 IN (NTC) 88-90
7th RTB 90-93
1/4 IN (CMTC) 94-95
E 51 INF (LRS) GE 95-98 (OJE and OJG)
1/78 FA (BT Instr), Ft. Sill, 98-01

Rangers,
The MDNG 29th Inf. Div. E Co. 629th MI Batt.(LRSD) is still here in Cascade, MD. I just spoke to the unit Sgt. over there today, and got the okay for my recruiter to call him and get the unit's line and paragraph number for my slot as an 11B. I should be going to MEPS in the next 2-4 weeks to get my ass shipped off already for OSUT and ABN. Hope this clears up the confusion of this unit.
