This page was cut-and-paste moved from 173rd Airborne Brigade (United States) on 16 September 2007. I have corrected that. Here are comments from that talk page. Cool Hand Luke 00:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Anyone know which three campaigns the 173d fought in during WW2? Blair P. Houghton 20:56, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
BTW, to answer your initial question...The 173rd was made the 87th Recon Group in 1942, but it didn't get into combat until 1944 in Europe. The Three campaigns were Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. — ExplorerCDT 21:09, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Should them being mentioned in Fallen Angels be added to the pop culture section? In the soft cover published by Scholastic they are mentioned on pages 174 and 175. 208.34.129.190 04:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
IIRC, after Marines covered a NEO in Liberia, at least some 173rd units went into the concurrent NEO in the Central African Republic. Howard C. Berkowitz ( talk) 02:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know where high quality images of Campaign streamers can be found? I wanted to put in a chart for them similar to the one on the 3/3 page, but I can't find any that are very good or up to date. - Ed! ( talk) 05:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/CampaignStreamers/CampaignStreamerInfoPage.htm - There are a lot of high quality images there. Hal06 ( talk) 22:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 2KL, use 2 KL, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 2 KL.

Hi there, I have reviewed this article against the Wikipedia:good article criteria and although I am not quite prepared to pass the article for GA immediately, I don't think there is a long way to go. I have listed below the principal problems which prevent this article from achieving GA status. The article now has seven days to address these issues, and should the contributors disagree with my comments then please indicate below why you disagree and suggest a solution, compromise or explanation. Further time will be granted if a concerted effort is being made to address the problems, and as long as somebody is genuinely trying to deal with the issues raised then I will not fail the article. I am aware that my standards are quite high, but I feel that an article deserves as thorough a review as possible when applying for GA and that a tough review process here is an important stepping stone to future FAC attempts. Please do not take offence at anything I have said, nothing is meant personally and maliciously and if anyone feels aggrieved then please notify me at once and I will attempt to clarify the comments in question. Finally, should anyone disagree with my review or eventual decision then please take the article to WP:GAR to allow a wider selection of editors to comment on the issues discussed here. Well done on the work so far.
(These issues must be satisfactorily addressed, in the article itself or here, before GA promotion can go ahead)
In all, its a good article but more is needed on Vietnam service and the minor niggles I mentioned above have to be dealt with before I can pass this for GA.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 17:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, Updating on what's still needed, the 1968-1970 period in Vietnam is still not covered. Can you do anything to fill in this gap? Otherwise eveything looks great and I'll be happy to pass once the above is addressed.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 18:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Couple of comments: you sure you used the right reference? You've used history.php, which doesn't seem to support the cited material. Did you mean to use ops.php? Second point is that you say they took part in four operations, but then only list 3. Carré ( talk) 10:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
One of the reasons for this article's failed FAC was that it relied heavily on COI material, because most of the information comes from US Army websites and press releases. What kind of sources exactly would not be COI? The Army sources are all reliable enough to me, but others seem to have a problem with them. - Ed! (talk) (Hall of Fame) 19:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi I have a friend by the bane of Dennis (Denny) Cain who served with the 173rd in Nam. He is looking for anyone who served with him in Nam. If you contact me at puppytoes@charter.net I will put you in contact with him Thank you B Moreno —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.86.117.66 ( talk) 23:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Between footnotes 78 and 79 there is mention of "a writer" embedded with Battle Company. The writer is Vanity Fair contributing editor Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm. His book, WAR, published in the Spring of 2010, published by Twelve, debuted on the New York Times best-seller list at #3. Embedded with Junger was award-winning photographer Tim Hetherington, also a Vanity Fair contributor. Together they produced and directed the documentary Restrepo, which won the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

The following was posted at EAR, but more properly belongs here. I'm posting it along with my response — TransporterMan ( TALK) 19:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC) (Not watching this page)
On the page it states that the 173rd infantry was not reactivated until 2000. I am greatly confused as I was with another unit in support of the 173rd in Vicenza in 1998. I helped the 82 airborne but my brother-in-law was working with the 173rd. How could this be? We each received letters of (?) Thanking us for support and his was signed by 173rd. I think 2/173rd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:B:5:0:0:0:BF ( talk) 04:00, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
WE got screwed then and now...what about Col. MC man, master sergeant Mickey Flynn the legend. Why would they drop a brigade in 1960 two thousand Airborne on Okinawa with 26 thousand Marines??? 82nd pactch was replaced by 25th LEG patch? We were the trailblazers.Then we were Extended to a total 19 month and 10 days on Okinawa.Lost a wife ,would not wait that long. Gil Handy 707 372 8985. 2/503 INF.
