Easy Company was a term that became known to the public through the HBO TV series "Band of Brothers".

However, Easy Company is a common term used within the military during WW2 and even up through today. Each Infantry Regiment was made up of 12 Companies that were identified by Letters: Company A, Company B, Company C...etc.

When speaking over the radio, letters were pronouced using the phonetic alpabet. Thus, Company A would be called Company Able or Able Company. Company E was Easy Company. The book "Band of Brothers" was about Company E of 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, of the 101st Parachute Infantry Division. But there was an Easy Company in every regiment of every infantry division.

Alternate Question: What are some of the famous quotes from Easy Company?This question was combined with this one because it is assumed that this refers to the TV series "Band of Brothers". Since every infantry unit had an Easy Company, this Q was too vague. Also, Assume that this refers to quotes from the TV Show and not the real paratroopers. For the real story, I recommend the book "Band of Brothers".

Quotes from the TV Series "Band of Brothers"
