1:36 Infantry

The 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment (1/36 Infantry), known as "Spartans," traces its lineage to the 36th Infantry Regiment, which was constituted in 1917. Throughout its history, the battalion has seen service in major conflicts, including World War II, where it fought as part of the 3rd Armored Division in campaigns across Europe. In the post-Cold War era, 1/36 Infantry has deployed in support of operations in the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan, demonstrating adaptability in both conventional and counterinsurgency missions. Today, 1/36 Infantry is assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, continuing its legacy of readiness and service.
