The 167th Infantry Regiment's history lives on in the 1st Battalion, 167th Infantry, "4th Alabama"; part of the Alabama National Guard. The unit traces its history back to the Seminole Indian wars. They fought at Seven Pines, Second Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg and The Wilderness among other battles as the 4th Alabama (symbolized in the 13 blue stars on the coat of arms).〔http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Heraldry/ArmyDUISSICOA/ArmyHeraldryUnit.aspx?u=3711〕 In 1916, they skirmished with Pancho Villa's bandits along the Mexican border during the Punitive Expedition. They were under the 42nd Division in World War I and fought in 5 major campaigns, symbolized in the 5 fleurs-de-lis on their coat of arms.〔 The 167th Regiment was assigned to the 31st Division during World War II and fought in the Pacific in the Battle of the Philippines. ==2005 Deployment to Iraq== CAMP SCANIA, Iraq "Only Company A of the 167th was officially mobilized for Iraq, but in order for the unit to reach the requisite 145 men, soldiers had to be drawn from the 167th's Companies B and C as well. Most of them volunteered. Company A is now an eclectic bunch, representing Alabama National Guard armories in Valley, Heflin, Pelham, Cullman, Childersberg and Talladega."〔http://www.al.com/armedforces/mobileregister/index.ssf?stories/december11_05.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「167th Infantry Regiment (United States)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
