Introduction

Scenario Forty-Nine

All three regiments of 1st Infantry Division would attack in line abreast as part of the II Corps effort to secure the heights between the Sidi Nsir-Matuer road and the Tine River valley. The 18th Infantry Regiment's 2nd Battalion had the task of clearing Djebel Reml. Long before daylight they had driven the enemy off the hill before a German counterattack regained the high ground. The Americans quickly pulled themselves together and took the hill a second time before dawn. Another German counterattack again forced them back to their starting positions. At mid-day the Americans made a third effort to secure their objective.

Conclusion

Realizing that another attempt without added support would be futile, 1st Infantry Division scheduled a heavy artillery barrage to open the attack and added a company of light tanks from 1st Battalion, 13th Armor Regiment. This made the difference as F company supported by the tankers drove the Germans off the hilltop for good. The day had been costly for the battalion as they suffered 43 dead and 161 wounded, with 60 others missing.
