**The 173rd is part of the BF2 Realism Coalition, made up of BF2 Realism Units, who work together, fight together, and prove they are the best.
Welcome Soldier,
My Name is Major Wells, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. I come forward to recruit soldiers into the 173rd Airborne. Do you think you got what it takes to become one of the best Airborne Soldiers and fight with the top Airborne unit in the U.S Army? Your Country Calls, Do you have what it takes?
All New Recruits for the 173rd Airborne will be deployed into the 526th Training platoon for BCT (Basic Combat Training) on our own Custom BCT map. You will have to qualify on the M16A1 Rifle, Assault Buildings, Take down enemy combatants, learn to operate like an Airborne Soldier. You will also qualify on a 200 Foot Jump Tower, and then you will jump out of a moving black hawk helicopter to assault a checkpoint. Only then, you may wear the Airborne Badge with Honor.
After BCT, You will be transfered out of our Staff Sgt's reach into either the 91st Cavalry Regiment or the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment. The 173rd Airborne trains hard and hits fast. We offer MOS Training in a number of fields from Combat Medic, Drill, Special Forces, Expert Parachutist badge, and more. With three Battlefield 2 Servers, and a Team speak and ally ship with other realism units, your position in the 173rd will be enjoyed.
If you think you got what it takes, to live, sleep, eat and even die like the 173rd Airborne, then we will see your sorry behind in our BCT Class, and see how long you last. If you survive it, your momma will be proud.
