Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ahakoa i tiimata mai ko te 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment (517th PIR), he waahanga o te 17th Airborne Division, i hangaia te 517th PRCT i te wa i whakakotahihia ai te 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment me te 460th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion (460th PFAB) me te 596th Parachute Combat Engineer Company. I kite te 517 i te nuinga o tana whawhai (i Itari,
Southern France, and the Battle of the Bulge) hei wae motuhake. I te mutunga o te pakanga, i uru te waahanga ki te 13th Airborne Division.
