For a history of the 9th Infantry in WWII, refer to U.S. Army booklet: http://www.lonesentry.com/gi_stories_booklets/9thinfantry/index.html
From CHERBOURG in the Battleground Europe series by Andrew Rawson: page 19: "As soon as 82nd Airbourne and 9th Inf Div had secured bridgeheads across the river Douve at St Sauveur-le-Vicomte and Ste Colombe, General Collins was ready to carry out the next phase of expanding the beachhead; a drive across the Cotentin Peninsula. Major-General Manton S Eddy was to send two regiments across the river, while his third, the 39th, secured the Corps' right flank around Biniville and Orglandes."
The operation above took place on the 17th June 1944 but I would expect they would have been in position on the 16th Hope this helps.

Not in WW2. Before 1939, each US Army Infantry Division had 4 infantry regiments. This proved to be too large for use on the battlefield. So the size the division was reduced and one regiment was removed. So the 3rd Infantry Regiment could have been part of a Division before then. However, during WW2 the 3rd Infantry Regiment was not part of an infantry division. Source: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/OrgChart/Divisions.htm

The 115th Infantry Regiment was one of the three regiments of the US 29th "Blue & Grey" Infantry Division. This unit was called into service early in the war and began training. However, their training continued in the US and in England for a long period in preparation for the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France.The 115th Regiment was supposed to land behind the 116th Regiment(29 Division) on Omaha Beach and provide support in the advance off of the beach. Instead, their landing craft drived eastward and they landed behind the 18th Regimen(1st US Infantry Division) just east of St. Laurent. By nightfall, they were still north of the ST. Laurent-Colleville road. They fought in the vicinity of where the American Cemetery is located at Colleville sur Mur.Recommend this book that is about a group of men in the 116th Regiment, 29 Division, but it will provide a glimpse into the training and casualties of this unit: "The Bedford Boys" by Alex Kershaw.
