History

Starfleet’s 501st takes its number from the honouree 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 volunteer group known as the Parachute Test Platoon on June 26th 1940. Eventually, these parachute-trained volunteers 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 nucleus of this unit provided part of 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 November 1942 under the command of Colonel Howard R Johnson. The men and women of Starfleet's 501st are proud to carry on the honourable name of the 501st.
