47th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 47th Infantry Regiment was another of the world-war generation of Army lineages. Organized for a larger twentieth-century Army, it served in the expanding divisional structure of the service and later survived through battalion and training assignments.
Its history includes service in the world-war era Army and later operational or institutional roles as the Army repeatedly reorganized. In this way the regiment's story mirrors the broader shift from classic regiments to battalion-centered formations and training brigades.
The 47th Infantry stands as part of the Army's deep bench of lineages created for modern war and preserved later as carriers of institutional memory.
