336th Combat Battalion

The 336th Combat Battalion was established in 1942 as part of the United States Army’s rapid expansion during World War II. Initially trained for amphibious operations, the battalion participated in key campaigns across the European Theater, most notably landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day and advancing through Northern France. Post-war, the 336th was reorganized as a mechanized infantry unit, serving in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars with distinction. Today, the battalion remains an active component of the U.S. Army Reserve, continuing its tradition of readiness and service.
