The question is a little vague.

"CO of a US Airborne unit". When you say "airborne unit" that could anything from a squad to a entire Division.

It's not some squad of commandos or anything like that. It isn't a trick question. The unit I'm looking for is a battalion.

Gavin's regiment would be the first ever to make a regimental sized Airborne landing, so perhaps this is not the battalian sized group you are looking for?
 
How about.
Lieutenant Colonel Edson Duncan Raff of the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion, first combat jump 8 November 1942 as part of operation Torch.
 
This should be fairly easy.

On what date during WW2 did Russia and France sign an alliance treaty?
