The 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment (2/14th Infantry), known as the "Golden Dragons," was originally constituted in 1861 and has participated in numerous conflicts throughout U.S. history. The battalion distinguished itself in the Indian Wars, the Philippine-American War, and saw extensive combat during World War II in the Pacific Theater. During the Vietnam War, the 2/14th Infantry earned a reputation for valor and effectiveness, participating in major operations such as the Tet Offensive. In more recent years, the unit has deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing its legacy of service within the 10th Mountain Division.
