177th

177th is an ordinal designation used to label the one hundred seventy-seventh item in a sequence. It is encountered in many contexts where entities are numbered, most notably in military organization and in geographic or administrative labeling.

In military usage, many armed forces assign numbers to units such as regiments, battalions, squadrons, and wings. The same ordinal can recur across different countries and periods, especially after reorganizations or re-designations, so a unit known as the 177th in one era may be unrelated to a similarly named unit in another.

Beyond the military, the designation can appear in street or district names (for example, a hypothetical 177th Street), enumerated lists, civic anniversaries (such as the 177th anniversary of a foundation), or catalog entries. The specific identity and history of any "177th" entity depend on its national, organizational, and historical context.

Because the number is used widely in many systems that number sequentially, additional context is required to identify what "177th" refers to in any given document. See also related ordinal forms such as 178th and other uses of numbered designations in different domains.
