The 3rd Infantry Division, nicknamed the Rock of the Marne, is a combined arms division of the US Army that was activated in 1917. The division was activated at Camp Greene, North Carolina seven months after the United States entered World War I, and it distinguished itself at the Second Battle of the Marne; the division suffered 3,177 killed in action and 12,940 wounded during the war. The division later moved to occupy Mayen, Germany for nine months in 1918-1919 before returning to America via Hoboken, and it was posted throughout the American West. By the time of World War II, the division had a significant number of soldiers from Southern states such as Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Texas, as well as a strong contingent of soldiers from Midwestern states such as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Smaller contingents from New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey also served in the 3rd Infantry Division. During World War II, the 3rd Division was the only US Army division to fight the Axis on all European fronts, including North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. The division landed at Fedala, Morocco during Operation Torch and occupied French Morocco before participating in Operation Husky at Licata, Sicily on 10 July 1943. The division fought its way into Palermo as part of Lieutenant General George S. Patton's US Seventh Army, and it captured Messina on 17 August 1943 before stopping to absorb replacements. The division went on to participate in Operation Avalanche at Salerno in September, the Battle of Anzio (during which it suffered 900 losses in a single day of combat, the most of any American division during World War II), and Operation Dragoon in southern France. Advancing up the Rhone and Vosges, the division cleared the Colmar Pocket and attacked the Siegfried Line south of Zweibrucken in March 1945. On 26 March 1945, the division crossed the Rhine and captured Nuremberg from 17 to 20 April 1945. The division later liberated the laborers at the Augsburg concentration camp, and it was in the vicinity of Salzburg, Austria at the time of the war's end. During World War II, the division lost 25,977 men, including 4,922 killed and 18,766 wounded. The division went on to serve in the Korean War, during which it lost 2,160 killed and 7,939 wounded, and it served in the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War before helping to train the Ukrainian military during the Donbas War.
