Resources (WIP)

Below you will find various resources to help you put together your 505th RCT impression. Your first stop should be our kit regs, which can be found below. This will give you an idea of everything you will need for a standard rifleman impression.

As a new member to the 505th, you will enter as a Private, typically as a rifleman.

Between campaigns, the 505th were outfitted with the M-1943 uniform. The webbing largely remains the same between the two impressions, with the exception small details such as the M1936 Cartridge Belt in place of the pistol belt used in Normandy.
