Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 101st Infantry Regiment belongs to the Army's higher-numbered modern regimental lineage system. It reflects the way the Army preserved unit identity and expansion depth beyond the smaller group of continuously active field regiments.
Like many regiments in this range, its history is chiefly institutional, carried through lineage, redesignation, and honors as tactical organization shifted toward battalion and brigade structures.
The 101st Infantry remains part of the Army's wider organizational memory and of the historical framework that supported twentieth-century mobilization.
A dedicated battalion subpage now collects the regiment's known battalion icons and short battalion sketches for the 1st, 2d, and 3d Battalions. Open the 101st Infantry Regiment Battalions page.
