 Welcome
to our site!
Its mission is a focal point for information and
contacts on the 48th Infantry of all eras, with particular focus on those of the
3rd Armored Division (SPEARHEAD). The 48th
Infantry was the
"Pride of USAREUR". The 2nd Bn commander, LTC Ben F.
Marshall had us answer the phones that way when he was commanding officer 1963-4.
 1st Bn 48th Infantry reactivated! Visit the "48th Today" page for
greetings from the current commanding officer of the 1st Battalion and other information about the
Dragoon mission today.
