Bobcats. 5th Infantry Regiment. One of the Army's Longest-Serving Infantry Units.
With a lineage extending back to 1808, the 5th Infantry Regiment "Bobcats" is one of the United States Army's longest-serving infantry units. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug honors that legacy with the regimental DUI, branch insignia, and service ribbon — a tribute to more than two centuries of continuous infantry service.
From Tippecanoe to the Modern Army. The Bobcats Never Stopped.
The elements that formed the 5th Infantry Regiment trace their combat lineage to Tippecanoe in 1811, and to Chippewa and Lundy's Lane in 1814 during the War of 1812 — battles that helped define the early American regular Army. In 1815, several regiments including the 9th, 13th, 21st, 40th, and 46th Infantry were consolidated to form the 5th Infantry, carrying forward the campaign honors of all those predecessor units. The Bobcats have served in every major American conflict since, accumulating a record of service that spans more than two centuries of American military history. The DUI, branch insignia, and ribbon on this mug represent every chapter of that story.
