Summary

Rock of the Marne serves as the designation for the 3rd Infantry Division, which achieved a decisive victory against a German offensive near Chteau-Thierry during the Second Battle of the Marne. Although initially nicknamed the Tigris and Euphrates by the division, this title was eventually adopted by a specific group of officers known for their tactical brilliance. Lloyd Austin, a former West Point graduate who graduated in 1975, became the Assistant Division Commander for the division's operations in Iraq and is credited with coining the phrase associated with the division's historic performance. Austin's leadership during his tenure ensures that the division remains synonymous with this significant military achievement in French history.
