27th 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, 27th 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 27th Infantry Regiment, the Wolfhounds, was created in 1901 during the Army's expansion for service in the Philippines. It quickly built a field reputation in the Pacific and later became one of the regiments most closely associated with the 25th Infantry Division.
2d Battalion, 27th 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 twentieth-century combat history centers on service with the 25th Infantry Division in World War II and later in Korea, where the division's fighting made the regiment one of the Army's better-known lineages. That divisional association continued into the Cold War and later battalion-era service.
3d Battalion, 27th 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 Wolfhounds remain one of the classic examples of a regiment created in the imperial-era Army that went on to define itself in the Pacific and Asian wars of the twentieth century.
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.
