Task Force 1-22 Infantry -- From Homestead to Port Au Prince

Abstract

This thesis centers on the historical review of one particular battalion as it participated in three operations other than war in the early 1990's. The thesis is a five-chapter work containing an introduction, three chapters focusing on each of the deployments and a conclusion. The 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry, 10th Mountain Division, deployed for hurricane relief operations after Hurricane Andrew devastated Homestead, Florida, in August of 1992. After returning from that operation, the division was thrust into a quick deployment to the Horn of Africa where it was to assist the starving nation of Somalia to get back on its feet. The 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry, the Theater Quick Reaction Force plunged from a humanitarian focus to one of combat operations, June through August 1993. In September of 1994, the battalion again was deployed to Haiti to assist in Qperation Uphold Democracy. Each deployment was different and challenging and required a unique approach for mission accomplishment.
