With its lineage extending back to 1808 when the Army organized the 4th Infantry, the 5th Infantry Regiment is one of the Army?s longest serving infantry units. In 1815, several regiments, including the 9th, 13th, 21st, 40th, and 46th Infantry Regiments, were consolidated to form the 5th Infantry. Elements that formed the 5th took part in several notable campaigns, including Tippecanoe in 1811, and Chippewa and Lundy?s Lane in 1814 during the War of 1812. The 5th Infantry was heavily engaged in fighting Indians and protecting settlers. In 1869, COL Nelson Miles, a veteran of the Civil War and one of the best Indian fighters in the Army, took command of the regiment and led it in campaigns against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Nez Perce. The 5th Infantry did not see service in the Spanish-American War, but briefly served in the Philippines during the insurrection. During World War I, the regiment was assigned to the 17th Division.
