58th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 58th Infantry Regiment belongs to the class of modern Army lineages created or maintained as the service expanded for global responsibilities and industrial-age war. Its story reflects organizational flexibility more than the long continuous field career of an older nineteenth-century regiment.
As with many regiments in this range, its identity was preserved through lineage, honors, and redesignation even when the regiment itself was not continuously active as a full combat formation. That pattern was common in the twentieth-century Army.
The 58th Infantry remains part of the Army's broader institutional memory and of the record of its wartime expansion base.
