US Army Infantry Regiments have fought in every one of the nation?s major and minor conflicts. From Concord to the Gulf, Gettysburg to the beaches of Normandy, the Infantry has led the way. As the Army?s basic combat fighters, infantrymen fulfill the oldest role on the battlefield. America?s infantry units, some of which trace their history back to the 18th Century, stand prepared today to perform their traditional mission, that of closing with and destroying the enemy.
