  • Regiments of the U.S. Army
    SECRETARY OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON The recently implemented u. S. Army Regimental System is one of the new Army initiatives of which I am proudest. Inspiring traditions of courage and sacrifice came from each of our regiments, traditions that parallel our national heritage. Regimental histories cannot help but instill in today's soldier a sense of commitment to the memory of yesterday's warrior. The histories and traditions of the regiments contained in this booklet are inspiring. They relate many of the campaigns and victories which won for this country its freedom and have preserved that freedom for succeeding generations of Americans. Regiments create for the Army a unique environment in which soldiers can sense greater esprit and identity, loyalty and commitment. Those qualities are in turn translated into increased combat readiness. The history of war clearly demonstrates that cohesive units are tougher and stand a better chance of survival in combat. I see the U. s. Army Regimental System as a great step toward creating that cohesion.
