23d Infantry in Alaska

I have had the honor to have served in the 1st, 2d, and 4th of the 23d Infantry as part of the 2d Infantry Division, USARAL (US Army Alaska), and the 172d Brigade (SEP). I have seen all and parts of the published histories and noticed that none of the "cold war" service has been written. There is virtually nothing between the Korean War and Vietnam. The 23d is now serving valiently in the Mid-East. I think these soldiers need to know the history of those dark days between the wars.

First Rule of Infantry Transportation

If a vehicle (Truck, Boat, Helicopter, Dogsled or whatever) hauls Infantry troops somewhere, its a given that the Infantry troops will WALK back on the return trip!
