The 29th Infantry Division: a bit of history

The 29th Infantry Division, also known as the Blue and Gray Division, is an infantry division of the U.S. Army. Formed in 1917, the division deployed to France during World War I. Called up to serve again during World War II, the 116th Regiment of the Division was part of the first wave of troops ashore during the Normandy landings. The remainder of the 29th ID landed later, then advanced until Saint-Lô, and finally through France and Germany. After the end of World War II, the division underwent frequent reorganizations and deactivations. Although the 29th ID did not see combat for most of the next 50 years, it took part in many training exercises all over the world. Eventually it deployed to Bosnia and Kosovo as a command element, and division units continue to deploy to places such as the Guantanamo Bay naval base and operations in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.
