85th Infantry Regiment

The 85th Infantry Regiment was constituted on July 31, 1918, as part of the National Army during World War I, but was demobilized shortly after the Armistice. Reactivated in 1943, the regiment was assigned to the 10th Mountain Division and played a significant role in the Italian Campaign during World War II, particularly in the battles for Riva Ridge and Mount Belvedere. The unit was recognized for its bravery and effectiveness in challenging mountain warfare conditions. After the war, the 85th Infantry Regiment was inactivated in 1945, with its lineage preserved in Army history.
