Recall - The Big Picture

In the past year, as a part of many steps taken to meet the threat of communism, President Kennedy called the 1st Armored and 5th Infantry Divisions back into service. Both units have basically been inactive since the end of World War II. The 1st Armored Division, affectionately known as "Old Ironsides," distinguished itself in the North African and Italian campaigns. The 5th Infantry Division, well-known as the Red Diamond Division and for its nickname "Red Devils," wrote its outstanding history in both World Wars I and II. Host-narrator Leonard Graves of "Victory at Sea" fame, takes you to Fort Hood, Texas, and to Fort Carson, Colorado, for the highlights of the reactivation ceremonies of these two famous divisions.

The 5th Infantry Division's 10th Infantry Regiment is one of the finest Infantry Regiments in the US Army.I used to be at the 1st BN 10th Infantry (Mechanized) 4th Infantry Division at Ft.Carson Co. during 1987-88.

A reconnaissance squadron of the 5th AD crossed into the border of Luxembourg into Germany near Wallendorf on 11 September. They we're there until 20 September 1944. With the reconnaissance squadron there engaging Whermacht units , they drew men away from the Hurtgen destined to fight there.

Then the 5th went to Fo Polk, I believe
