The 2nd Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) was the last all-black unit activated by the U.S. Army (October 6, 1950), as well as the first Army Ranger unit to parachute into combat (March 23, 1951 at Munsan-ni in Korea). The original unit was designated the 4th Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) and was later redesignated the 2nd before they deployed. The 2nd Ranger Company was assigned to the 32nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT), 7th Infantry Division (8th U.S. Army Command) and later attached to the 187th Regimental Combat Team (Airborne) in Korea. They fought in 4 major campaigns and served 205 consecutive days in combat.

If you have a US Army enameled pin how can you identify the unit?

I believe the pin you are speaking of is called a Unit Crest. There are collectors of these and there are websites dealing with identifying the crests. The US Army suspended issue of these crests in WW II to save on metals needed for war time production, after the end of the war they were again issued. Some of these are depicted on the US Army site linked below.
