Unit History & Information
The 1st Battalion, 505th Infantry deployed to the Sinai Peninsula in March 1982 as part of the Multinational Force and Observers. That assignment put the 82nd’s Paratroopers into an international peacekeeping mission during the Cold War. The First in the Sinai wording recalls this early rotation. The battalion returned to rapid-deployment duties and took part in Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada in October 1983.
