Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 102nd Infantry Regiment is one of the modern-era lineages preserved in the Army's regimental system. Its significance lies in continuity, organizational depth, and the retention of unit identity through changing force structures.
Rather than a single uninterrupted field-regiment career, the 102nd Infantry reflects the Army's practice of carrying names and honors forward through redesignation and selective activation.
That preserved lineage makes the 102nd part of the Army's broader historical architecture in the twentieth century and after.
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 102nd Infantry Regiment Battalions page.
