History

Starfleets 501st takes its number from the honoury WWII 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment (501 PIR). The 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment's lineage can be tracked back to the 29th Infantry Regiment which spawned a volounteer group known as the Parachute Test Platoon on June 26th 1940. Eventually, these parachute-trained volounteers would comprise the Army's first all regular all-parachute tactical outfit, the 501st Parachute Infantry Battalion under the command of Major William M. Miley, who later commanded the 17th Airbourne Division. The nuclues of this unit provided part of the the carde, the unit number, the genealogical lineage and the heraldic background of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment which was activated in Toccoa, GA on 15th Novemeber 1942 under the command of Colonel Howard R Johnson.
