Modern Era, United States, Infantry
This page collects the existing battalion illustrations and additional documented historical battalions of the 119th Infantry Regiment. The historical entries include inactive units and earlier designations; the regimental image identifies entries without a battalion-specific illustration.
This entry now anchors the battalion page in the regiment's origin or defining early identity, giving the 1st Battalion slot a more specific historical frame than the first scaffold pass.
The 119th Infantry Regiment is one of the modern lineages preserved in the Army's regimental system. It reflects the service's long practice of carrying unit identity, honors, and history forward through redesignation and changing force structures.
The 2d Battalion entry uses the regiment's middle or operational arc to give the page a clearer sense of how the parent unit developed over time.
Its historical profile is more institutional than narrative, but that preserved identity still matters in understanding the Army's organizational depth.
The 3d Battalion entry now carries the regiment into its later or enduring modern identity, tightening the page around the way the lineage is remembered in the modern Army.
The 119th Infantry therefore forms part of the Army's broader continuity across the modern era.

Research note: The added historical entries cite their sources individually. Regimental illustrations are labeled as such. An earlier battalion designation can continue through another battalion or a separate battery; these relationships are identified in the entries. The original three entries are retained; the additional entries do not treat regimental campaign credits as evidence that every battalion fought in those campaigns.
