170

**170th Infantry Regiment** (example unit) The 170th Infantry Regiment was first activated during World War I as part of the U.S. Army's rapid expansion, seeing action in the final offensives on the Western Front in 1918. Reactivated for World War II, the regiment participated in the European Theater, notably during the Normandy campaign and the liberation of France. During the Cold War, the 170th was stationed in Germany as part of NATO forces, maintaining readiness against potential Soviet aggression. The unit was eventually inactivated in the late 20th century as part of post-Cold War restructuring, but its legacy endures through honors and traditions preserved by successor units. *Note: If you meant a different country's unit or a specific branch (such as "170th Fighter Squadron" or "170th Tank Battalion"), please specify for a more accurate history.*
