287th

287th is a numeric designation used in the naming of various organizations, most commonly military units. The prefix 287th is applied to denote a unit’s place within a larger formation or system, and the designation is reused across time and across countries, resulting in multiple distinct entities that share the same numerical label but have no direct connection to one another.

In military usage, the 287th designation can appear on regiments, battalions, squadrons, groups, brigades, or support units. The specific lineage, role, and geographic association of any given 287th unit depend on the country and historical period; such units may be formed, reorganized, or disbanded as part of broader force-structure changes. Because numbers are frequently reused, the same ordinal can refer to different units in different eras.

Outside the military, 287th may appear in other naming conventions, such as district or street numbering, event designations, or administrative units in some regions. In all contexts, the name functions primarily as an identifying marker within a larger organizational system rather than as a standalone subject.

Because there is no single, universally recognized entity known simply as the “287th,” readers seeking information about a specific 287th unit or usage should note the context—such as the country, service branch, or historical period—to locate the relevant article or records. This approach helps distinguish among the various uses of the designation across different organizations and times.
