30th 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, 30th 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 present 30th Infantry Regiment was constituted in 1901 during the Army's expansion for overseas duty. Although earlier units had used the number during the War of 1812 and the Civil War, the modern regiment dates from the Philippine-American War period and belongs to the wave of regiments created for America's new global commitments.
2d Battalion, 30th 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 World War I the regiment was assigned to the 3rd Division, and that divisional relationship remained important in the years that followed. The regiment also served in World War II and later through battalion-level lineages in the modern Army, linking the early twentieth-century expansion era to later conflicts.
3d Battalion, 30th 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 30th Infantry therefore represents the generation of regiments that were not products of the frontier army, but of the overseas and division-based Army that emerged after 1900.
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.
