97th Chemical Battalion — Long Sleeve

Eighty years between the Rhine and the Rhine again — long-sleeve edition for German winters.

Activated at Fort Leonard Wood in May 1944 as a chemical mortar battalion, the 97th earned Rhineland and Central Europe campaign credit before standing down in September 1945. Reactivated in September 2023 as an Army Reserve CBRN battalion in Wackernheim, Germany, it picked the story back up almost exactly where it left off.

Crest, flags, and hazard symbols on garment-dyed long-sleeve cotton — for the people who deal with the stuff the rest of us would prefer not to name.
