1:147th Infantry

The 1st Battalion, 147th Infantry Regiment (1/147th Infantry) is a distinguished unit with roots dating back to the American Civil War, where it served as part of various Ohio volunteer regiments. Over the decades, the 147th Infantry has been federalized for service in both World Wars, notably participating in the Pacific Theater during World War II, including the Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa campaigns. Post-war, the battalion has served as part of the Ohio Army National Guard, supporting both state and federal missions. Today, the 1/147th Infantry continues its legacy of service, training for homeland defense and international deployments as part of the National Guard’s infantry force.
