WASHINGTON, D.C. (HawaiiNewsNow) – The U.S. Army has republished an article detailing the history of the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team on its website.

The article was republished Saturday, replacing the webpage that was taken down sometime earlier this month. Its removal triggered an outcry from relatives of members of the unit and others, including U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, and Mark Takano of California, whose great uncle was a veteran of the 442nd.

The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the most decorated combat unit in history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation Japanese-Americans.

In a statement sent to Hawaii News Now Saturday, a U.S. Army spokesperson at the Pentagon said, “The 442nd Regimental Combat team holds an honored place in Army History and we are pleased to republish an article that highlights the brave Soldiers who served in the “Go-for-Broke” brigade.”

“In accordance with a Presidential Executive Order and guidance from the Secretary of Defense, the Army recently took down the Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders Heritage webpage that featured content about the 442nd Infantry Regiment and Nisei Soldiers. The Army is tirelessly working through content on that site and articles related to the 442nd Infantry Regiment and Nisei Soldiers will be republished to better align with current guidance.”
