This unit became a part of the 372d Infantry Regiment, which fell under the French 157th "Red Hand" Infantry Division, and saw extensive combat in World War I. The 1st Separate Infantry was hand selected to be a part of the Red Hand Division because they were known as extremely loyal.

The Cold War EraThe 715th Truck Company saw combat in Korea. Naming their company orderly room "Blair House," they flew a DC flag over the Korean peninsula on 8 December 1951.[2] 74th Troop Command heritage continued to deploy overseas to every major conflict in support of the United States Army throughout the Cold War era.
