80th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 80th Infantry Regiment was one of the higher-numbered infantry lineages associated with the Army's twentieth-century expansion and reorganization. It reflects the broader pattern by which the service preserved more regimental names than it could keep continuously active.
Through lineage and honors, the regiment's identity survived organizational change and the Army's shift toward battalion- and brigade-based combat formations.
The 80th Infantry is therefore part of the Army's long institutional practice of carrying historical identities forward across changing force structures.
