220th Infantry

The 220th Infantry was a unit of the United States Army organized during World War II as part of the Army’s expansion to meet the demands of global conflict. Activated in 1943, the regiment was primarily assigned to stateside duties, including coastal defense, training replacements, and preparing for possible enemy actions on American soil. Although the 220th Infantry did not see combat overseas, its contributions were vital in supporting the war effort by ensuring homefront security and readying soldiers for deployment. The unit was inactivated in 1945 following the end of hostilities and the subsequent military drawdown.
