    The 1st Infantry Brigade, better known as the 1st Infantry Division or by its nickname "The Big Red One," is one of the oldest and most famous divisions in the U.S. Army.

    The 1st Infantry Division played a pivotal role in the Allied landings in Normandy on Omaha Beach.

    The 1st Infantry Division fought its way up the beach under heavy fire and eventually secured strategic points, enabling the Allied advance inland.
