"The 643rd deployed into Normandy exactly three years after it was activated, landing at Cherbourg on 15 December 1944. The following day, a major German offensive was launched in the Ardennes forest, beginning the Battle of the Bulge, and the battalion was rushed into action, arriving at the front on 22 December.[1] One company was deployed that same evening to support an attack on Hotton by elements of Combat Command Reserve of the 3rd Armored Division.[2] The battalion remained attached to the 3rd Armoured until 26 December, supporting it in a number of small-scale engagements."
