Welcome
to the 1st Battalion 61st Infantry Regiment's unofficial web site, an Infantry unit once part of the 1st Brigade 5th Division and now part of TRADOC. If you only had one military history site to see, this is the one you would want. Combat history from World War One (WW I), Vietnam and Panama. Basic Training in the U S Army today. Follow the Red Diamond and the 1/61 through St. Mihiel, Verdun and Meuse Argonne in France to Quang Tri, Camp Red Devil and Con Tien in Vietnam to Camp Roadrunner in Panama (Operation Nimrod Dancer) to the Fourth Training Brigade at Ft Jackson, SC as you follow the history of a proud combat unit. Learn about the life, death and the profession of the combat Infantry soldier.
Sorry but this site has moved.
