506th Parachute Infantry Regiment

History
The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment was a Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division, during World War Two. They fought in many battles, including St-Mere-Englise, Brecourt Manor, The Battle for Hurtgen Forest, Battle of the Bulge, Bastogne, and Foy.

''"Known by all true realism units as the biggest threat to the Germans, by size and skill, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment is an extremely prestigious and well crafted unit. Forged in 2004 by Lt. Col. Hunnicutt and Maj. Turner the 506th is a veteran realism unit tainted with pride and honor bestowed by an outstanding record of battles passed. The founders of the 506th came from the 26th ID, a former powerhouse in the realism community. When grave circumstances inside the leadership of the “Yankee Division” presented themselves several key members decided to leave the unit and mold what they knew would be a revolutionary charge at into the heart of Day of Defeat realism history. After only a week of its creation the 506th presented itself as a major underdog in the war and pushed itself quickly and furiously to the top.  In the passed the 506th was based on the first version of Day of Defeat, where most of its fame lies. But, In 2005 it grew large and the leadership decided to take a dip into the abstract and branched out into Star Wars: Battlefront. Led by Ghoster (Flynn) and Back Irie the 506th men took on a new role as Stormtroopers. Just as it had did to Day of Defeat, the 506th slammed itself into several ladder chains and overcame every clan/unit to face them, never losing a match the unit reigned supreme in the small but challenging realm of Star Wars: Battlefront. As interest in the game began to die down and the creation of Day of Defeat: Source entered into the equation Ghoster decided to step out of the game and push his attention more to DoD:S. In an attempt to keep up with SW:BF the men of the 506th STR combined forces with |NERV| and formed an overlord clan. To this date, never beaten, |NERV| lies its roots in Battlefield 2. With interest now directed primarily towards Day of Defeat: Source, the 506th PIR yet again pounded its way into a new game. This one with new game play and greater challengers, the 506th has implicated new generations of gamers and revolutionized the Day of Defeat: Source world, not just the realism world. The leadership of the "Currahees" are the some of the most skilled and knowledged men, dedicated to creating a enjoyable but yet rigorously fast-pased environment, where players learn to work as a team and respect for thier NCOs and officers above them. The military manner brought on by the hard and crisp rules and regulations of the army of the 1940s has created an outstanding template where the 506th bases its own rules and regulations. Led by Lt. Col. Hunnicutt, the 506th today, with feverous skill and an “always forward” offensive, suffers only one loss, ever, and has always strived to remain a stone-cold-killer in the ranks of realism in Day of Defeat: Source, and always looking to conquer yet another game."''
