Able Company forms the beating heart of the 199th Thunderborne. As the unit’s infantry element, they are the first boots on the ground, trusted with missions that demand precision, adaptability, and courage under fire. Whether dropping into hostile territory, clearing fortified positions, or holding critical objectives, Able is defined by its ability to succeed against overwhelming odds.
Able Company operates as a full airborne infantry platoon. Every member—from riflemen and team leaders to the platoon staff—plays a critical role in the fight. Their operations rely on coordination, discipline, and the ability to adapt in fluid, high-pressure scenarios. Able is often tasked with establishing footholds, securing drop zones, and driving the momentum of the campaign.
Able Company embodies the spirit of the Thunderborne: resilience, unity, and relentless drive. They thrive in situations where improvisation and initiative make the difference between mission success and failure. Bonds forged in the drop zone and on the line define their strength; no one fights alone, and no one is left behind.
