The 502nd entered combat in World War II on June 6, 1944, by jumping into Normandy, with allied forces landing on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. Between 1945 and 1964. A major reorganization took place on 3 February 1964, when the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne was activated at Fort Campbell, replacing the 1st Airborne Battle Group, 501st Infantry Regiment. The reorganization from the battle groups to brigades and battalions placed two battalions of the 502nd in different brigades of the 101st.

March – April 1969 A Shau Valley: During this period, five Battalions of the 101st Airborne Division including A Company and the rest of 2/501st, air assaulted into the A Shau Valley.

The operation yielded many large caches, one that included 14 trucks, 600 brand new SKS rifles, ChiCom radios and field telephones. March 1968 2-501st Battalion operations were characterized by aggressive daylight patrols and sweeps and numerous night ambushes in the area of the West of Hue. Although numerous booby traps were encountered initially, and enemy body counts of fourteen were not uncommon for the night ambushes, enemy contact decreased as the month passed. The enemy was successfully repelled form the villages adjacent to Hue and forced out into the densely vegetated foothills.

    2nd BCT, 101st ABN DIV (AASLT) “STRIKE HISTORY” 01 December – 07 December 2013 01- 31 December 1944 Transmitted herewith after action report, 502d Parachute Infantry from 1 December to 21 December 1944, with critique notes and conclusion. The 502d Parachute Infantry arrived at Mourmelon Le Grande, France, form Holland on 28 November 1944, for a scheduled ten week reorganization and training period. During the period 1 December to 11 December 1944, reinforcements were received, given orientation courses and assigned to units. Show-down inspections were conducted for all personnel to determine shortages of equipment. Training was limited to close order drill and physical conditioning. The period 11 December to 17 December 1944, was devoted to individual and small unit training with emphasis being placed on getting reinforcements fitted into the tactical organization. On the 17th of December 1944, the Regiment received order to be prepared to move to Bastogne by 1400 hours, 18 December 1944. With less than a twenty-four hour alert, the securing of equipment, ammunition, and rations necessitated an all out effort on the part of every element of the command. The Regiment departed on schedule and arrived at Mande St. Etienne, Belgium, at about 0400 hours, 19 December 1944. Units were assigned a tactical bivouac and at 1500 hours were given an order to occupy a Regimental defensive sector near Longchamps, Belgium. Due to the necessity for speed, on-the-spot decisions had to be made, and assignment of sectors could only be made by map reconnaissance. The defensive sector assigned to the Regiment was over 7000 yards, thus necessitating a thin defensive line with a very mobile reserve.
