The 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment (2-2 IN), known as the "Ramrods," is a historic infantry battalion of the United States Army with a lineage dating back to 1808. The unit has seen action in major conflicts, including the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Global War on Terrorism. During World War II, 2-2 IN participated in key campaigns such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe. In recent decades, the battalion has deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan, where it has continued its tradition of valor and service.

The 2nd Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment ("2-32 INF") and 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment ("1-32 INF") are storied units of the United States Army with distinguished lineages. Originally constituted in 1916, the 32nd Infantry Regiment has served in major conflicts from World War II—where it fought in the Aleutians and the Pacific—to the Korean War and the Vietnam War, earning numerous campaign streamers and decorations. In more recent history, both battalions have been elements of the 10th Mountain Division, deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Renowned for their motto "Against All Odds," the battalions continue to uphold a tradition of valor and service in modern military operations.
