82nd Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 82nd Infantry Regiment was one of the numbered lineages maintained within the modern Army's larger expansion framework. It is part of the service's practice of preserving more regimental identities than could remain continuously active in field service.
Through redesignation and lineage recording, units like the 82nd Infantry contributed to the Army's institutional memory while tactical organization shifted toward battalion- and brigade-level formations.
The regiment therefore stands as one of the many continuity lineages that helped connect successive generations of Army organization.
