1st Battalion, 41st Infantry. M113. Cold War Ready.
The M113 Armored Personnel Carrier was the workhorse of the Cold War Army — the vehicle that carried infantry into position, provided fire support, and kept soldiers protected across the most demanding terrain in Europe. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug honors the Cold War veterans of the 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry who served mounted in the M113, with the Cold War service ribbon as a tribute to years of readiness on NATO's front line.
The M113. The Mission. The Men Who Were Ready.
The 41st Infantry Regiment is a regiment of the United States Army with a proud lineage across multiple conflicts. During the Cold War, the 1st Battalion served as mechanized infantry, mounted in M113 APCs and trained to fight in the European theater. These soldiers maintained their vehicles, ran their field exercises, and stood ready knowing that if the order came, they would be among the first to move against Warsaw Pact forces. The Cold War service ribbon represents every alert, every exercise, and every day of that unwavering commitment.
