The 16th Corps (XVI Corps) was a field formation of the United States Army during World War II. Activated in October 1943, it played a significant role in the European Theater, primarily responsible for overseeing operations and logistics in liberated areas behind the front lines. The corps contributed to the management of troop movements, supplies, and the organization of military government in occupied territories. After the end of the war, the 16th Corps was inactivated in December 1945 as part of the Army’s postwar drawdown.

The 180th Infantry Regiment is a distinguished unit of the United States Army, originally organized in 1921 as part of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. The regiment saw extensive combat during World War II with the 45th Infantry Division, participating in major campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. In the Korean War, the 180th again served with distinction, earning numerous commendations for its bravery and effectiveness in combat. Over the decades, the unit has continued to serve in various domestic and overseas missions, maintaining its proud legacy of service and sacrifice.
