U.S. Army Col. Jennifer McDonough, the commander of the 3rd Division Sustainment Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, pins the Army Commendation Medal on Sgt. 1st Class Taylor Jones, a Soldier assigned to 3rd DSB, 3rd ID, for his participation in the Long March, on Karliki, Poland, on March 5, 2024. More than 30 Soldiers assigned to the 3rd ID and U.S. Army Garrison Poland participated in Exercise Long March from Zagan, Poland, to Spremberg, Germany. The Soldiers, the first American military members to participate since the original march in January 1945, walked 60 miles over three days along the original route of the Stalag Luft III evacuation to recreate the forced march of allied prisoners as the German military fled Russian advancement during the final winter of World War II.
