FORT DRUM, N.Y. (WWNY) - A lot of Fort Drumâs rich history is actually rooted in the month of February.
That history is on display at the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum Museum.
The first time the 10th Mountain Division ever fought in battle came on February 18 and 19 in 1945, towards the end of World War II.
The unit took Riva Ridge and Mount Belvedere in the Apennine Mountains of central Italy.
