The 147th Infantry Regiment, or the 147th Regiment, is an infantry regiment of the United States Army, Ohio Army National Guard. Previously known as the 6th Ohio Infantry, it has served in several American wars as a combat infantry unit, but now maintains the Ohio RTI (Regional Training Institute) in Columbus, Ohio. Its regimental motto is Cargoneek Guyoxim, which is Chippewa Indian for "Always Ready."
The 147th Infantry Regiment, previously known as the 6th Ohio Infantry, served in the American Civil War, Pancho Villa Expedition, World War I, and World War II.
The 6th Ohio was organized in southwestern Ohio in the spring of 1861 and was mustered into Federal service on 12 May. Most of its recruits were from Hamilton County and surrounding areas. The COL and first commander was William K. Bosley, and Nicholas Longworth Anderson of Cincinnati was its first LTC. Anderson did serve as the COL of the regiment during its last two years of service. The 6th was first sent to western Virginia before mustering out when its initial three-months term of enlistment expired. Reorganized as a three-years regiment, the 6th Ohio Infantry spent the next three years in the Western Theater before being mustered out on 23 June 1864. While serving, the regiment engaged in several skirmishes and two major battles; the Battle of Stone's River, and the Battle of Chickamauga. Towards the end of their service, they fought in GEN William Tecumseh Sherman's Atlanta Campaign.
