22nd Infantry Regiment Battalions
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
This page collects the existing battalion illustrations and additional documented historical battalions of the 22d Infantry Regiment. The historical entries include inactive units and earlier designations; the regimental image identifies entries without a battalion-specific illustration.
1st Battalion, 22nd 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 22nd Infantry Regiment grew out of the wartime and postwar reorganizations of the nineteenth-century U.S. Army and served through frontier duty, overseas expansion, and the shift to division-based warfare. Like many old regular regiments, its history runs from the post-Civil War Army into the overseas campaigns of the turn of the century.
2d Battalion, 22nd 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.
In the twentieth century the regiment's lineage was carried mainly through battalions rather than a continuously active regimental headquarters. Those battalions served in the divisional Army of the world wars and later in the Cold War force, preserving the regiment's history even when the traditional regimental structure was broken up.
3d Battalion, 22nd 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 22nd Infantry is best understood as one of the enduring regular lineages of the Army: less famous than some neighboring regiments, but representative of the long institutional continuity that links frontier soldiers to the modern battalion-era Army.
4th Battalion, 22d Infantry Regiment
The 4th Battalion was activated at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, in November 1986 as part of the 25th Infantry Division.
The regiment's commander register records its inactivation there on 15 June 1995. 22d Infantry Regiment Society commander register.
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.
