52nd 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, 52nd 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 52nd Infantry Regiment was one of the higher-numbered U.S. infantry lineages associated with the Army's twentieth-century growth and repeated reorganizations. It belongs to the generation of units shaped more by modern mobilization and overseas commitments than by the old Regular Army frontier tradition.
2d Battalion, 52nd 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 history survives through the Army's lineage system even though the regiment did not remain a continuously prominent field regiment across every era. Like many comparable units, it reflects the Army's need for expandable structure in wartime and adaptable organization in peacetime.
3d Battalion, 52nd 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 52nd Infantry stands as a reminder that the Army's institutional depth depended not only on famous regiments, but also on the many lineages maintained for future expansion and later specialized 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.
