**Charlie 23:** Charlie 23 was activated in 1967 as an infantry unit specializing in jungle warfare during the Vietnam War. The unit gained distinction for its role in Operation Silver Strike, conducting reconnaissance and ambush missions along the Mekong Delta. After Vietnam, Charlie 23 was restructured as a mechanized infantry company and participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Today, it remains an integral part of the 2nd Battalion, recognized for its adaptability and combat effectiveness. **Echo 15:** Echo 15 traces its origins to World War II, where it served as an artillery battery supporting Allied advances through France in 1944. In the Korean War, the unit provided crucial fire support at the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, earning a Presidential Unit Citation. Echo 15 transitioned to a rapid-deployment force in the 1980s, participating in multiple peacekeeping operations. The unit continues to serve as a highly trained artillery component of the 5th Regiment.
