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 Cold War, the 3rd Infantry Division was stationed in Germany as part of NATO forces defending Western Europe against the threat of Soviet invasion. The division maintained constant readiness, conducting training exercises, border patrols, and maintaining equipment and personnel at the highest state of readiness.
Right of Passage - Germany Cold War Service

The 3rd Infantry Division was positioned along the Fulda Gap, one of the most likely invasion routes for Soviet forces if war had broken out. Soldiers trained continuously in armored warfare, combined arms operations, and defensive tactics, maintaining readiness to respond immediately to any Soviet attack. They conducted field training exercises in all weather conditions, maintained their equipment to the highest standards, and stood ready to fight at a moment's notice.
