November 4th — Today in Guard History National Guard
1994
Ft. Bragg, North Carolina – The 4th Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division is activated. This unit, better known in the Guard community as the “Sinai Battalion” is composed of 401 Guard volunteers drawn from 24 states plus a few Army Reserve and active duty soldiers. Its mission was to deploy to the border between Israel and Egypt in the Sinai Desert as a peace keeping force as authorized by the 1978 Peace Accords ending the war between the two nations. After intensive training the unit stayed on the border for six months and returned home to July 1995. The commander of the Multinational Force to which the battalion was assigned remarked it “was the best prepared U.S. Battalion to rotate to the Sinai.”.
