Unit History
The 7th Infantry Regiment earned the nickname "Cottonbalers" at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, where they held their ground behind cotton bales against a vastly superior British force — and won. That grit defined the regiment for generations.
From the War of 1812 through the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, both World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Cottonbalers have deployed, fought, and endured wherever duty called. Their campaign record — 78 streamers strong — remains unmatched in the U.S. Army.
