The 10th Mountain Division (Illinois) Re-enactment Group (TSG & 10th LHG) is a living memorial to the brave men and women of World War Two and to the men of the 10th Mountain Infantry Division in particular.
Our objective is to portray as authentically and accurately as possible, the elite mountain trained infantryman of WW2 and in particular that of the 87th Mountain Infantry Regiment & the 10th Mountain Division Mountain Recon Troop. We strive to create an accurate impression with respect to our uniforms, equipment, mounts, vehicles and appearance. We believe that a living history portrayal is best reflected by not only emulating the appearance of the individual Mountaineer, but also reenacting the other facets of military and civilian life of the 1941-45 period.
We invite you to visit our site and if you have any questions or if you are interested in reenacting with the 10th Mountain Infantry Division, please contact our C/O through the link below. As a group, we are attempting to represent one of the most misunderstood and under represented units in the history of the United States Army. They were elite troopers. We hope in some small way that we are honoring their sacrifices, & teaching the public about this pivotal era in world history.
Give us a look and see if you have what it takes to represent these fine men.
Located in Northern
Illinois, we have
ten roster members(10/2008) and attend mostly local events.
We have a mounted Recon contingent, and a motorized leg/ski group. We also
have a female contingent which attends events as Resistance Fighters, or
assigned military personnel. We are members of the 20th Century Tactical
Studies Group for a parent organization, and some of us are also members of the
10th Mountain Living History Group/Colorado and have taken part at events at
Camp Hale and Denver.
