29th Infantry Division

The 29th Infantry Division, nicknamed "The Blue and Gray" because of their distinctive shoulder patch, was a division of the United States Army that fought in some decisive battles of World War II. The unit is portrayed in Call of Duty 3.

History
The 29th landed at Omaha Beach and saw heavy fighting, such as portrayed in the first scene of the award-winning movie, "Saving Private Ryan".

They later took Saint-Lô on July 18th, captured the city of Vire on August 7th, and then on November 16th, the division began its drive to the Roer River, blasting its way through Siersdorf, Setterich, Durboslar, and Bettendorf, and reaching the Roer by the end of the month.

The division has been reassigned to many Corps over the course of World War II, such as V Corps, VIII Corps, and XIII Corps.

The division remained on occupation duty until the end of 1945. It returned to the United States in January 1946 and was demobilized and deactivated on January 17, 1946 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. On October 23, 1946, the division was reactivated in Norfolk, Virginia. The unit remains active to this day, serving in Bosnia and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
