96th Infantry Regiment
Modern Era, United States, Infantry
The 96th Infantry Regiment was one of the modern lineages preserved within the Army's larger wartime and postwar organizational framework. Its record reflects the Army's habit of keeping a wide roster of regimental identities as part of long-term institutional continuity.
That continuity mattered even when a regiment did not remain continuously active in a traditional field role. Through lineage and honors, names such as the 96th Infantry stayed inside the Army's administrative memory.
The 96th Infantry is therefore part of the deeper structure that supported Army expansion and preserved its history.
