1:39th Infantry
U.S. Army
The 1st Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment (1-39 IN), known as the "Fighting Falcons," was first constituted in 1917 and has played a significant role in various U.S. military campaigns. The unit saw extensive combat in World War II with the 9th Infantry Division, participating in the North African, Sicilian, and European campaigns, including the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. During the Vietnam War, the 1/39th Infantry was again activated and distinguished itself in numerous operations from 1966 to 1969, earning several unit commendations. In modern times, the battalion has served primarily as a training unit at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, preparing new soldiers for service in the U.S. Army.
