The 99th Infantry Battalion (separate) was a battalion of Norwegian-speaking soldiers in the US Army. Created in July 1942 at Camp Ripley, Minnesota, the battalion originally consisted of 1,001 soldiers.[1] The battalion was attached to the First Army; however, it was labeled "Separate" because it was not attached to a specific regiment.
