81st Regional Support Command Selected To Participate In The 2013 Inaugural Parade

?

On December 19, The U.S. Army Reserve?s 81st Regional Support Command ?The Wildcats? was selected to provide a World War One historical color guard to march in the upcoming Presidential Inaugural parade in Washington, D.C., January 21, 2013, representing Army Reserve Soldiers from nine southeastern states plus Puerto Rico.

On Thursday, January 17, at 2:00 pm, the color guard will have a dress rehearsal at the 81st RSC headquarters on Fort Jackson. Media are invited to attend the dress rehearsal.

While at Camp (now Fort) Jackson in 1917, the 81st Infantry Division designed and wore the first shoulder patch of the U.S. Army ? a wildcat on an olive drab colored circle. Celebrating the Soldiers of World War One, the 81st Wildcats will proudly wear the Army?s first patch on actual World War One uniforms while in the parade.
