The 44th Infantry Regiment is a unit within the United States Army, serving under the auspices of the U.S. Army National Guard. Established on July 19, 1908, the regiment initially comprised four battalions stationed across various states, including Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. The primary role of the 44th Infantry Regiment is to provide infantry forces for defense of the United States, state, and local communities as well as support civil authorities during domestic emergencies or disaster relief operations. The regiment has seen active service in numerous conflicts throughout its history, including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, among others. The 44th Infantry Regiment is organized into four separate battalions: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions. Each battalion is further divided into companies, platoons, and squads. The soldiers in the regiment undergo rigorous training to maintain their readiness for deployment at a moment's notice. The insignia of the 44th Infantry Regiment features a buffalo standing on a rocky base with its head turned to the left. This symbol represents the regiment's history in the western states, where bison were once abundant. The motto of the 44th Infantry Regiment is "First and Last," reflecting their readiness for both initial assault and last defense.
