De Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment is een van de bekendste compagnieën in het Amerikaanse leger. De lotgevallen van de Easy Company van het 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog worden verhaald in het boek Band of Brothers van Stephen Ambrose en de gelijknamige televisieserie van Steven Spielberg en Tom Hanks.

De Easy Company werd in 1942 opgericht en werd tijdens de landing in Normandië voor het eerst ingezet. Haar eerste echte gevechtshandeling voerde ze uit in de vroege morgen van D-Day. Er moest een Duitse batterij, met vier 105mm kanonnen die op Utah Beach waren gericht, onschadelijk worden gemaakt. Hierna leidde de compagnie de Slag om Carentan, nam deel aan Operatie Market Garden, hield stand tijdens de slag om Bastenaken, leidde het tegenoffensief tijdens de slag om de Ardennen, vocht mee in de Rijnlandcampagne en nam Hitlers Kehlsteinhaus in.

Het laatstlevende lid van de Company, soldaat Bradford Freeman, overleed op 3 juli 2022 in de leeftijd van 97 jaar.[1]
