Iron horse

The "Iron Horse" is a nickname historically associated with the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division, activated in 1917. The division earned distinction in World War I and played a crucial role in the D-Day landings at Utah Beach during World War II. In the decades following, the 4th Infantry Division participated in the Vietnam War and multiple deployments in the Middle East, including Operation Iraqi Freedom, where they were instrumental in the capture of Saddam Hussein. Renowned for their adaptability and combat effectiveness, the "Iron Horse" remains a vital component of the U.S. Army’s armored and mechanized infantry forces.
