88th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 88th Infantry Regiment belongs to the Army's system of higher-numbered modern lineages and reflects the service's ability to preserve more unit identities than its active force required at any one time. It is part of the institutional depth behind the Army's wartime expansion capability.
Through lineage and honors, the regiment remained part of Army history even as force structures shifted away from permanent regimental field organizations. That process helped preserve continuity across multiple generations of reorganization.
The 88th Infantry is one more example of how the Army kept its historical framework intact while modernizing its tactical system.
