9th Infantry

The 9th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Manchu Regiment," is one of the oldest and most distinguished units in the United States Army. Constituted in 1855, it first saw action in the Indian Wars and later fought in the American Civil War. The regiment gained renown during the Boxer Rebellion in China, where it adopted the "Manchu" nickname. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the 9th Infantry has served with distinction in major conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
