69th Regimental History

The 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry traces its history back to 1849 when Irish immigrants organized a militia regiment. When the unit joined the New York State Militia in 1851 it was numbered as the 69th Regiment. The unit fought in the first Battle of Bull Run and distinguished itself in that fight. When the regiment returned to New York City after three months, most of the men volunteered to join the 69th New York Volunteer Infantry for three years.

The unit earned fame as the heart of the historic "Irish Brigade" of the Union Army during the Civil War, fighting in all the major battles in the east from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg and beyond. Its nickname reportedly came from Confederate General Robert E. Lee who referred to it as "that fighting 69th Regiment". In World War I the regiment mobilized in 1917 and was renumbered the 165th Infantry Regiment. William "Wild Bill" Donovan earned a Distinguished Service Cross and Medal of Honor serving first as a battalion commander and then regimental commander

The regiment's World War I Chaplain, Father William Duffy was famous both during and after the war and a statue of the priest now stands in Times Square.

In World War II the regiment fought in the Pacific on Makin, Saipan and Okinawa.

The 69th was one of the first military units to respond to the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, where it helped to secure Ground Zero. Following duty at the WTC, 200 soldiers were mobilized to protect the United States Military Academy, West Point, serving for one year. Numerous other members were on active duty providing protection throughout the New York area as part of Operation Noble Eagle. On 15 May 2004, the regiment was federalized for combat duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom. While in Baghdad, the regiment was responsible for finally securing the infamous "Route Irish”.

In 2008 approximately 300 soldiers from the 69th deployed to Afghanistan as part of Task Force Phoenix, attached to the 27th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, where it assisted in stability operations in the Hindu Kush and in training the Afghan security forces.

In 2016 the Active Battalion completed a rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in Fort Polk, Louisiana. JRTC is considered the premier training location for light infantry units, designed to stress Soldiers and their systems in preparation for a combat deployment. Upon returning from JRTC, the battalion mobilized 130 Soldiers in support of Enduring Surge to protect New York City against any and all domestic threats.

In July 2017, the battalion deployed to Australia in support of Exercise Talisman Saber. The Fighting 69th was the first National Guard battalion in years to fully mobilize and participate in this training exercise, partnering with the Australian Army’s 1st Brigade.
