From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 28th Infantry Division is a unit of the Army
National Guard and is the oldest division-sized unit in the armed
forces of the United States.[1][2] The
division was officially established in 1879 and was later
redesignated as the 28th Division in 1917, after the entry of
America into the First World War. See World War I. It continues its service today
as part of the Pennsylvania Army National
Guard.
It is nicknamed the "Keystone Division," as it was formed from
units of the Pennsylvania Army
National Guard; Pennsylvania is known as the "Keystone State."
It was also nicknamed the "Bloody Bucket" division by German forces
during the Second World War due to its red insignia.
It was the Army division in the film When Trumpets
Fade, a movie about the battle at Huertgen Forest. The 28th is the first
National Guard division to field the Stryker infantry fighting vehicle, as part of
the Army's modern transformation.
History
World War
I
The 28th Division traces its history from the briefly active 7th
Division, formed in May 1917. In July 1917 or later, the division
was renamed the 28th Division.[3] It was
activated in September 1917. Its initial organization included the
55th Infantry Brigade (109th and 110th Infantry
Regiments) and the 56th Infantry Brigade (111th and 112th Infantry
Regiments).[4] During
World War I it was involved in the Meuse-Argonne, Champagne-Marne,
Aisne-Marne, Oise-Aisne, and Ypres-Lys (FA) operations. During the
war it took a total of 14,139 casualties (KIA-2,165 ;
WIA-11,974).

Combat
Chronicle
After training in Southampton, England, the 28th Infantry
Division landed in Normandy, France, on 22 July 1944 and entered
the hedgerow struggle north and west of St. Lo. Inching their way
forward against desperate opposition, the men of the 28th took
Percy, 1 August, and Gathemo, 10 August. On the 12th, Brigadier
General Wharton was killed a few hours after assuming command. The
Division began to roll north and east on 20 August, meeting light
resistance except at Le Neubourg, 24 August, and Elbeuf on the
25th.
After parading through Paris on 29 August, it continued its
sustained drive through France and Luxembourg to the German border,
assembling near Binsfeld on 11 September. It began hammering at the
Siegfried Line
the following day, destroying pillboxes and other fortifications,
moved north to Elsenborn, 1 October, then returned on the 6th for
patrols and rotation of troops. The 28th smashed into the Huertgen
Forest, 2 November 1944, and in the savage seesaw battle which
followed, Vossenack and Schmidt changed hands several times. On 19
November, the Division moved south to hold a 25-mile sector along
the Our
River in Luxembourg.
The Von Rundstedt offensive was launched in Belgium on 16
December along the entire Division front. The 28th fought in place
using all available personnel and threw off the enemy timetable
before withdrawing to Neufchateau on 22 December for
reorganization, as its units had been badly mauled. The Division
moved to a defensive position along the Meuse River from Givet to
Verdun on 2 January 1945, then to a patrol of the Vosges
Mountains on 17 February. From 1 to 5 February, it participated
in the reduction of the Colmar Pocket, headed for the Rhine and
crossed the Rhine-Rhone Canal on 6 February. After an attack toward
the Ahr
River on 6 March, the 28th engaged in training, rehabilitation,
and holding defensive positions. Beginning on 7 April it performed
occupation duties at Juelich and Kaiserslautern until it left France.
Private Eddie
Slovik, the only U.S. soldier executed for desertion during
World War II, was a member of the 28th Division.

Post
World War II Service
The 28th Infantry Division has continued to serve the nation as
part of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
After being inactivated as part of the Army in December 1945, it
was reorganized in 1946 and returned to the Pennsylvania National
Guard. Following the outbreak of the Korean War, it was recalled to active duty.
The Division re-opened the mothballed Camp Atterbury, Indiana and
remained there from 09/13/1950 to 11/23/1951. It was sent to
Germany to augment NATO forces in Germany and returned to National
Guard status in 1954.
The Division was not mobilized during the Vietnam War, although in 1965 it was
selected as one of three divisions in the Army Selective Reserve
Force. Nor was it mobilized in force for Operation Desert Storm in 1991; however,
the 121st Transportation Company, one of its constituent units,
served in Saudi Arabia and volunteers from the Division were
deployed overseas, some in the Middle East.
In 1996, after the signing of the Dayton Agreement, some units of the
divisional artillery were called up to serve as peacekeeping forces
in Bosnia; elements of the 28th
served in Bosnia as peacekeepers for several years following this.
In 2002, the 28th Division took command of the Northern Brigade
Task Force (Task Force Eagle), as part of the NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia as part of
SFOR 12. The leading combat arms
units under the 28th while in Bosnia were the 109th Infantry and
the 104th Cavalry. The division was the third reserve component
division headquarters to take on this role in Bosnia (previously
the Army National Guard's 49th and 29th Divisions had commanded
Task Force Eagle).
In 2003, the 28th Division again led the NATO peacekeeping
mission in Kosovo as part of
KFOR 5A for a
9-month rotation. The 28th was the first reserve component division
headquarters to take on this role in Kosovo. Later in 2005,
elements of the 28th Division would again return to Kosovo as part
of KFOR 6B, the
first year-long rotation by U.S. troops to the region.
During the "Global War on Terror" following the September
11, 2001 attacks on the US the Keystone Division has provided
troops for Operation Enduring Freedom,
Operation Noble Eagle and - most
significantly - several thousand troops for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Company A, 28th
Signal Battalion deployed to Iraq in February 2004. The 1st
Battalion, 103rd Armor and 1st Battalion, 107th Field Artillery
deployed to Iraq in January 2004. The division's 2nd Brigade Combat
Team deployed to Iraq for a year-long rotation in July 2005.
Elements of the division would again return in 2006 and revolving
deployments to Iraq seem likely in the future. The 56th Stryker
Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) will deploy in 2008 to Iraq. The Combat
Aviation Brigade, 28th Infantry Division deployed to Iraq in May
2009.[5]
Operation Iraqi Freedom
Company A, 28th Signal
Battalion
Co A, 28th Signal Battalion deployed in April 2004 to April 2005
in support of major combat missions in the Anbar
province.
2nd Squadron, 107th
Cavalry (RSTA)
Returning to the 28th Infantry Division in September 2001, the
2nd Squadron, 107th Cavalry provided many of the first soldiers to
wear the Bloody Bucket in combat since World War II. In October
2003, Companies B and C, and elements of HHC and Company A, of the
2-107th Cavalry (Ohio Army National Guard) were activated to Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, and Fort Stewart, Georgia, for five months
of mobilization training where they were attached to the 1st
Battalion, 150th Armor (WVARNG), the 1st Battalion, 252nd Armor
(NCARNG), and Troop E, 196th Cavalry (NCARNG) respectively, for
deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom II with North Carolina's 30th
Brigade Combat Team under 1st Infantry Division. These elements of
the 2-107th CAV were in Iraq from February to December 2004,
serving in Kirkush, Tuz Khurmatu, Jalawla, and Baghdad.
The remaining companies continued on with their regular training
cycle until October 2004, when the rest of the battalion was
activated to participate in OIF III. Five companies were then
deployed to Fort Dix, NJ for mobilization training and then left
for Kuwait in January 2005. The companies then made their way up to
Baghdad, Iraq and performed detainee operations at Camp Cropper and
Camp Victory. The unit whole deployed served under the 1st Cavalry
Division, 4th Infantry Division, and 3rd Infantry Division. Direct
command was under several MP Brigades, such as the 18th and 42nd MP
Brigades. They returned home in January 2006.
1st Battalion, 107th
Field Artillery
In December 2003 the 1st Battalion 107th FA was activated and
received Military Police training at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
Following a month of training, the soldiers of the 107th where
deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom. The different
batteries where dispersed throughout Iraq serving as MPs. The
members of the 107th returned home in February 2005. C Battery saw
action in Fallujah during Operation Valiant Resolve in the spring
campaign. Members of C Battery also saw combat in the area
surrounding Camp Anaconda and Abu Ghraib, a military prison.
Another contingent provided security for Ambassador Paul Bremer and
other high ranking State Department officials at Coalition HQ.
Members of A Battery with attachments from Headquarters Battery
were provisionally renamed Alpha Company 107th Military Police and
deployed to Mosul, Iraq. Alpha Company was assigned to I Corps
(Task Force Olympia) from Ft Lewis, WA. 1st Platoon, located on LSA
Diamondback, finished construction of the military detention
facility and continued to run it until re-deployment. 2nd Platoon
provided external base security for the detention facility, a quick
reaction force for the company and an additional security
detachment for top military officials in Iraq including the Task
Force Olympia's Commanding General, Deputy Commander, Provost
Marshal and various VIPs at Camp Freedom. 3rd Platoon conducted
Military Police combat operations with the 3rd SBCT, 2nd Infantry
Division, as well as security missions for the Iraqi National
Guard, Iraqi police forces, and other coalition provisional
governmental organizations in Mosul. Alpha Company also provided
logistic support and additional convoy and unit security for
separate units with no local higher headquarters including the
330th MP Company (L&O), CID detachment and soldiers from the
3rd platoon of the 293d MP Company which was briefly attached. The
Company served from February 2004 to February 2005.
2nd
Battalion, 103rd Armor
In January, 2004, B and C Companies of the 2nd Battalion, 103rd
Armor were activated and, with attachments from several other
PAARNG units, reconfigured as military police companies and trained
at Ft. Dix for deployment to Iraq. They were designated as
companies of the 89th MP
Brigade and left for Iraq in March 2004 with days of each
other. Once in Iraq, they were assigned to some of the most
sensitive missions of OIF II. Three platoons of Bravo Company (1st,
3rd and Headquarters) were attached to the Iraq Survey
Group; while 2nd and 4th Platoons served in Iraqi Police
Support, later as area patrols for Camp Fallujah and
eventually as transportation escorts for high-ranking Iraqi
government officials. Charlie Company was assigned to the HVD
facility at Camp
Cropper, with an entire platoon assigned solely to former Iraqi
dictator Saddam
Hussein. The units both redeployed in March 2005.
1st
Battalion, 103rd Armor
In June 2004, the 1st Battalion, 103rd Armor was activated at
Fort Bliss, Texas and deployed to Iraq in November in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom. This marked the first deployment of a 28th
ID combat battalion to a war zone since World War II. The
battalion, now designated as a Task Force (Task Force DRAGOON), was
stationed at Forward Operating Base Summerall, near Bayji. Attached
initially to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, and then the
1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, the 800 man TF 1-103rd Armor,
commanded by LTC Philip J. Logan, engaged in combat operations for
12 months before redeploying to the United States in November,
2005. Thirteen soldiers from TF Dragoon were killed in action
during combat operations in Salah Ad Din Province, a heavily Sunni
Muslim area in the north part of the "Sunni Triangle".

2nd
Brigade Combat Team
2nd Brigade Combat Team, 28th Infantry Division (2/28 BCT) was
mobilized in January 2005. 2/28 BCT consisted of approximately
4,000 National Guardsmen from over 30 states and was commanded by
COL John L. Gronski. Over 2,000 of the soldiers were from the
Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Other states that contributed
large units included Vermont, Utah,
Michigan, Kentucky, New Jersey and Nebraska. 2/28 BCT conducted
its post mobilization training at Camp Shelby, MS. The soldiers were trained in full
spectrum operations and received additional equipment.
In May 2005, 2nd Brigade soldiers trained at the National Training Center at Fort
Irwin, CA to
prepare for their upcoming mission in Iraq due to start in July 2005.
In late June and early July 2005 2nd Brigade soldiers began
deploying to the Al-Anbar province and were under
the command of the 2nd Marine Division
through February 2006 and then were under command of 1st
Marine Expeditionary Force Forward through June 2006.
The 2/28 BCT received transfer of authority for its area of
operations (AO) in central Al Anbar Province in July 2005. The area
of operations was very large, but 2/28 BCT focused operations along
the Euphrates River Valley from Ramadi to Al Habanyah, about 35
kilometers to the east. Ramadi was the 2/28 BCT main effort for the
following reasons: 1) capitol of Al Anbar province and home to the
provincial governor and government center 2) large urban area with
a population of approximately 400,000 Iraqi citizens 3) Al-Qaeda in
Iraq focused on the area. The Ramadi area was known as one of
the most violent and dangerous areas in Iraq.
The mission of the 2/28 BCT was to neutralize the insurgency and
develop Iraqi Security
Forces within the area of operations in order to create stable
and secure conditions and allow for self-governance. The BCT
conducted counterinsurgency operations to kill or
detain insurgents, to locate weapons caches, to detect improvised
explosive devices (IEDs), to engage in on-going dialogue with
community and government leaders, to recruit, train and integrate
Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police, and to
conduct civil affairs projects to improve sewer,
water, energy, medical and school facilities.
2/28 BCT operations resulted in: 1) Millions of dollars of
humanitarian assistance projects were completed 2)Over 3,000
insurgents and terrorists detained or killed 3)Successful
referendum election in October 2005 and successful general election
in December 2005 4) Approximately 5,000 Iraqi soldiers trained and
integrated into all operations. This included transitioning area of
operations to Iraqi brigades and battalions. 5)Hundreds of tons of
explosives, ammunition, and weapons seized from insurgent caches 6)
over 1,000 young men of Ramadi recruited into the Iraqi Police 7)
Coalition force and Iraqi Army outposts established and areas
controlled that had formerly been insurgent strongholds 8) Over
1,100 roadside bombs discovered before they could be used against
civilians, Iraqi government officials, or coalition forces and
Iraqi soldiers.

28th Infantry Division
shrine
The 28
th Division Shrine at the Pennsylvania Military
Museum.
A shrine dedicated to the 28th Infantry Division is located on
the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military
Museum in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. This
site was formerly the estate of Colonel Theodore Davis Boal. In
1916 Boal formed the Boal Troop, the 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry, State College, a
horse-mounted machine gun unit which was accepted as a provisional
unit of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. In April 1917, the
Boal Troop was reconfigured as an infantry unit, Company A of the
107th Machine Gun Battalion, and deployed to France for service in
World War I.
In 1919, soldiers of the Boal Troop returning from the war
erected a monument on the Boal Estate dedicated to their fallen
comrades. In the 1920s, other units of the 28th began erecting
their own memorials, and began to refer to the area as a "shrine".
In 1931, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the site, and in
1969 the Pennsylvania Military
Museum was opened. By 1971, memorials to most of the units of
the 28th that served in World War I had been erected, and in 1997 a
World War II memorial was dedicated at this site.
Members of the 28th Infantry Division have gathered for a
memorial service at the shrine every third Sunday in May since
1919. U.S. Route
322, on which the shrine is located, is named the Pennsylvania
28th Division Highway.
In the 1919 classic silent film J'accuse the US 28th Division
is acknowledged as being in the film.
