1:48th Infantry

The 1st Battalion, 48th Infantry Regiment (1/48th Infantry) boasts a distinguished history within the U.S. Army. Constituted in 1917, the unit first saw action during World War I as part of the American Expeditionary Forces in France. It later earned recognition for its valor and service during World War II, participating in major campaigns across Europe, including the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns. In modern times, the 1/48th Infantry has been reactivated as a Basic Combat Training battalion at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, continuing its proud tradition of training and developing new soldiers for the Army.
