The S6Stl Jnfantl'V Regiment is cited for outstanding performance of duty in
action from 12 to 19 September 1944 In the assault upon the German Gothic Line
near Mont!ce!U, Italy. Chosen to make the main effort to penetrate the Gothic
Line ill the area of D Giogo Pass, In order that the divisions o! the American II
Corps could debouch into tbe Po Valley and outflank the vaunted Futa Pass posi-
tions along the Florence-Bologna highway, the 36SiL Infantry Regiment stormed
the bastion of ll!onticelll. The strongly prepared defenses on this rocky, rugged,
and steep mountain feature guardtng the pass were manned by the ellte German
4th Paratroop Division. Supported by air bombing and Intense artillery con-
centrations, two battalions struck initially without dislodging the enemy from
their deeply dug, fortified positions. Small units began the slow, tedious process
ot working around one enemy position after another to gain a foothold. The 1st
Battalion made the initial penetration and held out against strong counterat-
tacks.• Despite the fanatical defense, the enemy was driven back as elements of
the division maintained constant pressure and cracked one strong point a!ter
another. With all battalions in the line, the SGSci Infantry Regiment withstood
the intense enemy fires and counterattacks. As the mountain mass of Montlcelll
fell to the 363d lnfantrv Regiment and the companion Mt A.ltu7.zo capitulated to
units ot a nelghborlng regiment, all enemy resistance In this portion of the Gothic
Line collapsed and the road to the north was open. In gaining the vital objective,
the 36Sd Ittfanlry Regiment displayed heroism, endurance, and teamwork In
keeping with the highest traditions of the A.rrny of the United States. {This
citation supersedes the citation of the lld Battallon, /16Stl Infantry Regiment, as
published In General Orders 89, Headquarters Fifth Army, 10 :Tuly 1945, as ai>-
proved by tbe Commanding General, United States Army Forces, Mediterranean
