The 100th was ordered to stay at the roadside on 4, 10 June kilometers from Rome and watched other troops march by.
They never saw Rome.
Instead, the 100th was taken 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Rome to Civitavecchia where on 11 June 1944, the 100th was attached to the newly arrived 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
Because of its combat record, the 100th was allowed to keep their original designation, giving the newly formed all-Nisei fighting unit the name 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team under the 34th Division.
Interesting what they did in France
