7th Infantry Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 7th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Cottonbalers," was an integral part of the U.S. Army during World War II. Assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division, the regiment participated in major campaigns across the European Theater. It landed in North Africa during Operation Torch in 1942, fought in the invasion of Sicily, and took part in the Anzio landings in Italy. The regiment was instrumental in the liberation of Rome and later participated in the invasion of Southern France. The 7th Infantry advanced through France and Germany, earning numerous campaign streamers for its distinguished combat record. Following the end of hostilities, the regiment was inactivated in Germany in 1946. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) Reactivated in 1946, the 7th Infantry Regiment continued its service with the 3rd Infantry Division. During the Korean War, the regiment deployed to Korea in 1950 and participated in key operations, including the Pusan Perimeter, Inchon landings, and the advance to the Yalu River. The regiment fought in several major battles throughout the conflict, earning additional honors for its actions. After the armistice, the 7th Infantry remained in Korea as part of the U.S. occupation and stabilization forces before returning to the United States.
