The Company was finally reactivated as the 307th Airborne Medical Company on 15 August 1942, under command of Major Wolcott L. Etienne, O-22277, MC (15 Aug 42 > 29 Jan 43), as an organic unit of the 82d Airborne Division. In fact, the unit never lost its historic ties with the 82d Division, whether Infantry or Airborne!
