What does rockasan mean in reference to the 101 airborne?
"Rakkasan" is, when loosely translated from Japanese to English; Paratrooper or Parachute. The 187th Airborne REGIMENT fought originally as part of the 11th Airborne Division during WW2 in the Pacific. Intercepted Japanese radio transmissions during WW2 indicated that "Rakkasans" were paratroopers; the men of the 187th Regiment liked the name, and adapted it as their "nickname." When the 187th Regiment deployed to Vietnam, they were part of the 101st Airborne Division. It was the 187th that took the brunt of the fight for Hamburger Hill in 1969. the 187th Airborne Regt. Combat Team was relieved from the 11th Airborne Division in 1950 and deployed to Korea. In 1951 there was a 3 day pass prize for the best patch submitted by members of the 187th (in Beppu, Japan) That is how the patch of the 187th Airborne RCT originated.
