46th 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, 46th 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 46th Infantry Regiment was organized in 1917 as part of the Army's rapid expansion for World War I. Its twentieth-century history spans wartime growth, later divisional and battalion assignments, and eventual survival through modern training and institutional roles.
2d Battalion, 46th 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.
The regiment's battalions later served in World War II, Vietnam-era assignments, and in the Army training base. Like several nearby-numbered regiments, the 46th Infantry illustrates how lineages created for the world wars were later preserved inside a much more specialized and flexible force.
3d Battalion, 46th 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.
Today the regiment is remembered less for one single famous battlefield than for its continuity across multiple Army eras, from mass mobilization to modern training and readiness missions.
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.
