The Wolfhound Pack US 27th Infantry Regimental Historical Society

The 27th Infantry was activated on February 12, 1901, at Fort McPherson, Georgia. After brief in Japan and the Philippines, the Wolfhounds established their base at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii in 1921, gaining a strong reputation for training and athletic excellence. On December 7, 1941, they defended against Japanese aircraft from D-Quad rooftops. As part of the Tropic Lightning Division, they fought across the Southwest Pacific, earning a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation in Luzon.

After World War II, the Regiment served in Japan, earning the nickname "Gentle Wolfhounds" for their support of the Holy Family Orphanage. In July 1950, they deployed to South Korea as part of the 25th Infantry Division, known as the Eighth Army's "Fire Brigade" for their rapid counterattacks during the Pusan Perimeter defense.

The First Wolfhounds arrived in South Vietnam in January 1966, recognized as one of the 25th Infantry Division's most effective units, earning a Valorous Unit Citation in 1967. They returned to Hawaii in April 1971.

Since then, they have deployed to various locations and are currently not in a combat zone. They have engaged in training exercises with counterparts in Australia, Thailand, Korea, and Indonesia, remaining ready for action.

The Regiment displays over twenty-nine battle streamers and more than eleven citations. Its motto, "NEC ASPERA TERRENT," translates to "FEAR NO DIFFICULTIES," commonly known as "NO FEAR ON EARTH."
