You are right as I was looking at some different sources when I referenced the 173rd.
From IISS Military Balance 1990/1991 and 1991/1992 US Army forces in Italy stood at 4,000 troops; 1 airborne battalion, 1 artillery battalion and also HQ, logistical and medical units. Also 5,500 USAF, 300 Marines and 6,000 US Navy plus other forces of the Sixth Fleet (20,000) in the Mediterranean.
