2d Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment

It served with that division in World War I, World War II, and later in the Vietnam-era Army through battalion service, giving it one of the clearer repeated divisional identities among the higher-numbered infantry regiments.

Research note: The added historical entries cite their sources individually. Regimental illustrations are labeled as such. An earlier battalion designation can continue through another battalion or a separate battery; these relationships are identified in the entries. The original three entries are retained; the additional entries do not treat regimental campaign credits as evidence that every battalion fought in those campaigns.
