The 6th Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment was originally constituted on 5 July 1918 in the National Army as Battery F, 37th Field Artillery. After several periods of inactivation and reactivation, the unit was reactivated and redesignated multiple times, eventually becoming the 6th Battalion in 1958. The battalion distinguished itself during the Korean War, participating in several campaigns and earning the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation. Today, the 6th Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment continues to serve as a vital artillery component, supporting U.S. Army operations and alliance commitments in the Korean Peninsula.

The 9th Infantry Division of the United States Army was activated in 1918 during World War I but did not see combat before the war ended. Reactivated for World War II, the division participated in the North African Campaign, the invasion of Sicily, and the Normandy landings, later advancing across France and into Germany. During the Vietnam War, the 9th Infantry Division was deployed to the Mekong Delta, where it conducted riverine and counterinsurgency operations from 1967 to 1969. The division was inactivated in 1991 after serving as a testbed for new organizational concepts during the late Cold War.
