506th PIR Patch

The 506th PIR was established in 1942 and is stationed at Camp Toccoa, Georgia. Here it was nicknamed The Currahees, after the mountain Currahee that was located in the training camp. After completing their training, the 506th paratroopers left for England to prepare for war. The 506th PIR was used in three major battles during World War II, namely during Operation Overlord, Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands, and the Battle of the Bulge. During the Second World War, the 506th PIR was commanded by Colonel Robert Sink and therefore the 506th PIR was also referred to as the Five-Oh-Sink.
