Page should be moved
editThis page should be moved to U.S. 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment to conform to other units in Wikipedia. WikiDon 02:51, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
The 517 PIR is not the same as the 517 PRCT. The 517PIR was combined with the 596th PCEC and 460th PFAB to become the 517th PR Combat Team. The 517th PIR existed before the 517th PRCT. The PRCT was later split up again when attached to the 13th Airborne. Note: There are many PIRs, but only a few PRCTs: 517th, 503rd, 507th. Rbarrett3776 (talk) 01:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
WikiDon is incorrect, RBarrett3776 is correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Landmark54 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
adding "US"
editI see why "U.S." was added to "1st Infantry", many countries have a "1st Infantry". But 517th PIR is a unique name. Do we really need to do a move (and the resulting disambig.)? Beanbatch 21:27, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
