One regiment, separate assignments
The common row follows the regiment. After its reorganization, battle groups and battalions could hold different assignments at the same time. A deployment or temporary attachment does not by itself change the assigned division. Battalion rows follow headquarters lineages, often descended from lettered companies, rather than assuming that the old regimental battalions continued unchanged.
Two distinct 20th-century organizations used this number. The 1917 regiment and the Philippine Scout regiment constituted in 1931 have separate rows; shared numbering does not establish one continuous lineage. Year-only Scout activation and inactivation dates remain uncertain.
Division patches
Representative division patches. Patterns could change over time; an image does not imply that the exact version was worn throughout every period. Divisions without a verified asset remain identified by name.

Division timeline
No deployment with sufficiently established dates is plotted for this regiment. Read the assignment cards and service notes for its garrison, training and successor-unit history.
Assignment ends are exclusive: the next period starts on that date. *Striped final bars mean last documented, with later status unverified through the page cutoff. Unknown intervals are not treated as inactive.

Sources and scope
Army Center of Military History lineage certificates provide the dated backbone. Regimental associations and secondary histories supplement individual operations and battalions. Where the evidence stops, the page says so. A page cutoff is not a claim that every unit directory was current on that date.
Earlier battalions are covered by common regimental service; separately dated lineages and substantiated later battalions receive their own rows or notes. A unit graphic alone is not evidence of a battalion assignment. Reserve, training and inactive organizations are distinguished from active combat units.
