1:58th Infantry Battalion

The 1st Battalion, 58th Infantry Regiment (1/58th Infantry) has a distinguished history within the United States Army. Originally constituted during World War I, the unit has served in multiple major conflicts, including World War II and the Vietnam War, where it was known for its expertise in infantry tactics and jungle warfare. During the Vietnam War, elements of the 1/58th Infantry played a significant role in search and destroy operations and convoy security. In more recent years, the battalion has been tasked with training and preparing new soldiers at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia, as part of the Army’s Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT) program.
