82nd 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, 82nd 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 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.
2d Battalion, 82nd 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.
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.
3d Battalion, 82nd 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.
The regiment therefore stands as one of the many continuity lineages that helped connect successive generations of Army organization.
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.
