The 114th Infantry traces its origins to the American Civil War, first organized in 1862 as part of the New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. Distinguished for its service during major campaigns such as Gettysburg and the Wilderness, the unit earned a reputation for discipline and bravery. In the 20th century, the 114th Infantry was federalized for both World Wars, serving in France during World War I and in the European Theater during World War II. Today, the 114th Infantry Regiment continues to serve as part of the New Jersey Army National Guard, maintaining its legacy of service and commitment to both state and nation.
