Welcome to the 1-315th BSB Official page where you can find the latest photos and posts highlighting our Soldiers.

The 315th Regiment has a history stretching back nearly 100 years to the First World War. The Regiment was first constituted on 5 August 1917 in the National Army as the 315th Infantry, assigned to the 79th Division, and organized on 29 August 1917 at Camp Meade, Maryland. During the First World War, the regiment took part in both the Meuse-Argonne and Lorraine 1918 Campaigns. The regiment was dem

obilized 31 May 1919 right here at what was known then as Camp Dix, New Jersey. It was reconstituted 24 June 1921 in the Organized Reserves as the 315th Infantry assigned to the 79th Infantry Division and organized in November 1921 with Headquarters at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The regiment was again ordered into active military service 15 June 1942 and reorganized at Camp Pickett, Virginia. During World War 2, the 315th Infantry Regiment took part in the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe Campaigns. The regiment's decorations include the French Croix de Guerre with Palm, with streamers for Normandy to Paris and Parroy Forest, as well as the French Fourragere. On 17 October 1999, 315th Infantry was withdrawn from the Combat Arms Regimental System, re-designated as the 315th Regiment.
