Good. CNN hasn't heard of them either, otherwise they would have given the enemy a "heads up".

"173rd Airborne? never heard of em."

Here is a fairly complete and detailed TO&E for the Iraq Theater. Not classified. no locations... just units.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade appears to be independent of the 82nd Airborne Div. and the 101st.
It has a website of its unit heritage.
