So I graduate airborne school in about a week and I'm projected to go to the 5-73rd Cav in the 3rd BCT, however I've been told that at AIC you get assigned to a unit based on the needs of the division so your brigade and unit could change, which I'd honestly be fine with because I've heard some pretty bad things about Cav units in the 82nd. But basically my question is does my projected unit mean anything or is it just kind of a placeholder, and what actually happens at AIC?

It’s just a step in inprocessing. Usually involves a PT test, some meetings, and BAR (pretty much pre-jump and rigging a ruck). They shortened it, so I believe new people go to their units first and then do AIC. I had a week of AIC and then got sent to my unit.

I’m surprised you got pinpoint orders. Typically you’ll only know what BDE you’re going to. And from there they’ll assign you to a battalion.
When I left Division in 2018 new soldiers would do AIC once they got to Division (which is the week following the completion of in processing at Ft Bragg Replacement). AIC is pretty much PT, RIGEX ( Rigging your ruck), and BAR ( Basic Airborne Refresher)

Went through AIC about three months back. But AIC is where you learn a little bit about the DIV's history and how the DIV operates. You probably won't be taking an APFT but like other's have mentioned you'll attend BAR again. Since you're commo, you'll be assigned by the G6 SGM, again up to the needs of the DIV though.
