The 173rd Airborne Brigade’s Leader Legacy Series is keeping history alive, one veteran at a time. On November 13, 2024, retired Command Sgt. Maj. Victor Pedraza shared his experiences with the current generation of paratroopers, offering insights from a remarkable 30-year career in the U.S. Army.
Pedraza, from McAllen, Texas, enlisted in 1981 and graduated from Infantry One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. From that point forward, he dedicated himself to service, rising through the ranks and making a lasting impact. He served in renowned units, including the 82nd Airborne Division, 2nd Infantry Division, and the 173rd Airborne Brigade, where he became the first Command Sergeant Major of the 1-91 Cavalry Squadron.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
