North of Highway 7, the 34th Infantry Division's 133rd Regimental Combat Team (including the 100th Infantry Battalion) advanced on Benevento. After a 20-mile forced march through pouring rain, the battalion deployed for its first action of the war. The Volturno River just north of the village would provide security against a counterattack once the village was secured. Leading the way was the Reconnaissance Company of the 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion.

Accounts vary widely as to who entered Benevento first and on what date. the best evidence points to the commander of the 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion leading the Nisei in during the early hours of the 30th. The 100th suffered its first casualties, three killed and 31 wounded. This action provided a diversion for the 3rd Infantry Division that was securing the key crossroad town of Avellino further south.
