Well, MSG (Join to see), I'll offer up info on the most famous unit in which I served. The 95th Division was first constituted on 4 September 1918 in the National Army. It was organized that month at Camp Sherman, Ohio. The the DUI and the SSI of the 95th are shown.

The 115th Field Artillery Brigade was first organized in 1888 as the 1st Regiment, Wyoming National Guard consisting of Troop A in Laramie and Troop B in Cheyenne.
It spent a number of years serving as infantry and cavalry (armored and non-) before finally getting a hint of its future in the field artillery following WWII, when it became a mortar unit. By the time of the Korean War, the "Cowboy Cannoneers" were well established, and Wyoming has been an artillery-centric state ever since.

Not anymore. We have a FA BDE, with a BSB and one FA BN in the state (2/300), and ties to FA BNs in other states. Outside of the brigade, we have an Engineer BN, and the usual assortment of public affairs, band, etc. So, our only Combat Arms branch is Artillery.

26th Infantry Regiment
At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States Army was sorely pressed to meet its overseas commitments in Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. As a result, in 1901 Congress authorized five additional Regular Army infantry regiments; the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th Infantry.
BLUE SPADER! HOOAH!

Which one? CGN-36 and CGN-41 are both recycled into Soda Cans Now. Probably the Oldest Continuously Active Command that I was Assigned to would be CINCPACFLT. The one that I worked around with the oldest most interesting history would be Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

I know when my first combat unit was assembled...the 37th Provisional Aero Squadron was first introduced at Kelly Field, Texas, in 1917.
My current unit...turns out, also formed at Kelly Field, 1917.
Go figure.
