Hell, no. I'm 229th EN BN. The 307th EN (ABN) BN is the divisional
engineer batallion from the 82nd Airborne. Historically has had both a
higher percentage of casualties and of decorations than any of the
infantry batallions. I've had the pleasure of working with several
former members of that unit--including my current platoon leader who
was a sergeant in the 307th.
