a little history on the 1-12

"So, a little history on the unit I’m assigned to. They are the 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Unit from Fort Carson, Colorado. If your in the mood for a history lesson, read on.

The 1-12 Infantry Battalion maintains balanced readiness to, on order, deploy, fight and win in any theater of operation while supporting the 4th Brigade Combat Team training to increase our lethality, survivability, operational tempo, sustainability, and versatility.

The History of the 12th Infantry Regiment parallels the history of our nation. The 12th Regiment was originally formed on 3 July 1798, in response to British and French aggression against the American merchant fleet. The 12th was disbanded on 15 June 1800 after the crisis passed. With the outbreak of the War of 1812, the Warriors were again activated."
