173rd Infantry Regiment Battalions
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
This second-pass battalion page ties each battalion icon more directly to the parent regiment's established story. Until a battalion-by-battalion lineage research pass is completed, the copy below should be read as regiment-specific context rather than as a final battalion lineage sheet.
1st Battalion, 173rd Infantry Regiment
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 173rd Infantry Regiment is retained as part of the Army's preserved lineage network, maintaining a historical regimental identity into the modern period.
2d Battalion, 173rd Infantry Regiment
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 continuity reflects the Army's practice of keeping unit names and honors alive even when active organizations were altered or discontinued.
3d Battalion, 173rd Infantry Regiment
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 173rd Infantry remains part of the broader record of American infantry service.
Research note: This second pass replaces the generic scaffold text with regiment-specific context drawn from the parent regiment page. Dedicated battalion-level lineage research is still deferred to a later pass.
