3rd Infantry Division - Rock of the Marne
The 3rd Infantry Division, known as the "Rock of the Marne," is one of the most distinguished divisions in the U.S. Army. The division earned its nickname during World War I for its heroic defense along the Marne River in France. The division has fought in every major American conflict since World War I, earning a reputation for combat excellence and tactical proficiency.
During the Korean War, the 3rd Infantry Division deployed to Korea and fought throughout the conflict, participating in major battles and operations from the Pusan Perimeter through the final armistice. The division's soldiers demonstrated extraordinary courage in some of the war's most difficult battles.
Battle of Chosin Reservoir - Frozen Chosin
The Battle of Chosin Reservoir, fought in November and December 1950, was one of the most brutal battles in American military history. When Chinese forces entered the Korean War, they launched massive attacks against UN forces in North Korea. American and UN forces, including elements of the 3rd Infantry Division, fought in temperatures that dropped to -35°F and below, facing overwhelming numbers of Chinese troops in mountainous terrain.
The battle became known as "Frozen Chosin" because of the extreme cold that soldiers endured. Weapons froze, vehicles wouldn't start, medical supplies froze solid, and soldiers suffered from frostbite and hypothermia. Despite these conditions and being surrounded by Chinese forces, American soldiers fought their way out, conducting a fighting withdrawal that military historians consider one of the greatest feats of arms in American history.
