The 173rd Airborne Brigade "SKY SOLDIERS" is best known for its actions during the Vietnam War.

Noted for its roles in Operation Hump and Operation Junction City, the 173rd is best known for the Battle of Dak To, where it suffered heavy casualties in close combat with North Vietnamese forces.

The brigade returned to the United States in 1972, where the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 503rd Airborne Regiment were absorbed into the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division.
