160th Infantry

The 160th Infantry Regiment is a distinguished unit of the California Army National Guard with origins dating back to 1885. It was first organized as the 7th Infantry Battalion and later consolidated with other units, serving in both World Wars, the Korean War, and various state and federal missions. The regiment earned battle honors for its service in France during World War I and in the Pacific campaigns of World War II, including New Guinea, Leyte, and Luzon. Today, the 160th Infantry continues to serve as a vital component of the National Guard, providing trained soldiers for both national defense and domestic emergencies.
