The Turkish Armed Forces' 61st Infantry Regiment is a military unit within the Turkish Army, historically stationed in the Thrace region of European Turkey. In the 1980s, the 61st Infantry Division was part of the 1st Army, which included the II, III, V, and XV Corps. This division, along with the 4th, 8th, 33rd, and 65th Infantry Divisions, was stationed in Thrace. Each division typically consisted of three infantry regiments, a sharpshooter battalion, a field artillery regiment, and an army band. The 61st Infantry Regiment, as part of this structure, would have been responsible for various combat and support operations within its designated area. The Turkish Army has undergone several organizational changes over the years, and specific details about the current status and location of the 61st Infantry Regiment may have evolved. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, consulting official Turkish Armed Forces sources or recent military publications is recommended.
