27th US Infantry Regiment "Wolfhounds" Online

Description

The 27th United States Infantry has two active battalions home-based at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii as part of the 25th Infantry Division (Light). The 1st Battalion recently returned from the Sunni Arab region near Baghdad, Iraq and the 2nd Battalion returned from deployment with Task Force Thunder in Afghanistan. Both battalions are training for future support of the Global War on Terrorism.

In over a century of service to the United States, the regiment has fought from Siberia throughout the Pacific, Korea and Vietnam. Over the years there have been 14 Wolfhound Medal of Honor recipients and many of it's officers have gone on to make General.

The Regiment has a reputation of utter ferocity in combat and gentle compassion in peace. The association with the Holy Family Home in Japan has gone on since the occupation after World War II. Every summer several children visit the regiment in Hawaii, and every December two Wolfhound soldiers visit Osaka, Japan bearing gifts for each of the children as our very own Santa-Ambassadors.
