70th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 70th Infantry Regiment was one of the Army's modern-era infantry lineages, part of the larger system of regiments created or retained for mobilization and later organizational flexibility. Its history belongs to the twentieth-century Army more than to the old Regular establishment.
As with many regiments in this number range, its identity was sustained through lineage and redesignation as the Army shifted toward battalion-centered and brigade-centered combat formations. That preserved the unit's place in Army history even when the regiment itself was not continuously active in the field.
The 70th Infantry is thus one more example of continuity inside a constantly changing modern force.
