62nd Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 62nd Infantry Regiment belongs to the Army's twentieth-century lineage system and illustrates how the service created and preserved numbered regiments beyond the most famous active field formations. Its history is tied to the Army's enlarged mobilization structure rather than to a long frontier-era past.
Such regiments often moved through periods of activation, inactivation, and redesignation as the Army's force structure changed. The 62nd Infantry follows that general pattern while still retaining its identity in the official lineage record.
The regiment remains part of the Army's wider historical framework for expansion and continuity in the modern era.
