61st 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, 61st 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 61st Infantry Regiment was one of the higher-numbered lineages preserved within the Army's modern-era force structure. It reflects the service's need for depth, expansion capacity, and organizational continuity during the twentieth century.
2d Battalion, 61st 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.
Rather than following the uninterrupted field history of an old regular regiment, the 61st Infantry fits the pattern of units carried through redesignation, selective activation, and later battalion- or training-centered roles.
3d Battalion, 61st 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.
Its place in Army history lies in that broader institutional continuity, linking the world-war generation of force expansion to the modular Army that followed.
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.
