Info for Regs and Companies at LaFiere-Chef du pont

Oh, and regarding pathfinders- 101st did have them. I am not sure of their DZs. I know the 82nd pathfinder DZ for Market though!

 

Look here for explanation on some things about pathfinders;

From my understanding each battalion had a few guys that were pathfinder qualified. I know that 1/504 had 9 pathfinders that jumped into Salerno for pathfinding duties.

 

While looking though my pictures it appears the 504 had 24 jump into Normandy to pathfind, but some could have missed the picture.

(I study the 504PIR when not working on the 24th.)
