On 1 July 1941, The 502nd Parachute Infantry Battalion was activated at Fort Benning, Ga. In July of 42 the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions were activated and the 502nd was assigned to the 101st. The regiment then moved from Ft. Benning to Ft. Bragg NC to take part in rigorous training excersizes. After completing training in NC, the regiment sailed for England to participate in the upcoming Normandy Invasion. The Five-Oh-Deuce dropped in the first wave over Normandy. Cloud cover and heavy German anti-aircraft fire caused the regiment to be widely scattered. Some sticks dropped as far as five miles from there intended drop zones. Undaunted, the troopers of the 502nd set about immediately taking their assigned objectives. To secure the two northern causeways leading inland from Utah Beach and to destroy the German artillery battery at Ste Martin-de-Varreville.
Despite the initial landings being scattered, the Five-Oh-Deuce secured all of its original D-Day objectives. After the 101st division regrouped, they were assigned the task of taking the city of Carentan. Lt. Col. Robert Cole received the Medal of Honor for leading a bayonet charge during this action. The city of Carentan fell after bitter fighting and the 101st was relieved by the VIII Corps. After resting in Cherbourg, the 502nd returned to England to rest and receive additional training. In September of 1944, the 502nd dropped into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. The mission of the 101st was to secure the stretch of Hell’s Highway between Eindhoven and Veghel. After securing their objectives, the 502nd joined the rest of the 101st in defensive positions on “The Island” south of Arnhem. After the failure of the Market Garden operation, the Five-Oh-Deuce was sent to Bastogne to help repel the German Ardennes offensive. Throughout the cold bitter winter battle, the 502nd held its positions in and around Bastogne until the siege was lifted by Patton's 4th armoured division. The entire 101st airborne division was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation for its stand at Bastogne. As the war neared its end,the 502nd was moved to the Ruhr Pocket to help in mop-up operations. On the 4th of May, the 502nd carried out its last mission by capturing The Eagles Nest.
The 502nd PIR Tactical Realism Clan was born back in the Spring of 2004 by founding members Mac, Duke, and Bulldozer. With the addition of Jimmy and Duncan, our own game server and website, the Five-Oh-Duece was off and running and has never looked back. The clan recruited slowly but surely, and soon grew into the respected clan recognized by most today. In the early days of the clan, eXo were our mentors, and brothers, as they still are today. The Five-Oh-Duece is based on the eXo "model." It is they who taught us the "right" way to run a clan. Thus, the 502nd has enjoyed the longevity we all desired as clanmates. From the very beginning, to the present, the Five-Oh-Duece has lived by one all-important rule; To always uphold the good name of the Five-Oh-Duece. As we forge ahead into CoD4, we take this rule with us and continue to be one of the "premier" Tactical Realism clans.
We have a new modded server up and running with loads of custom maps on it!! Please stop by and visit.
