54th Infantry

The 54th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army was constituted on May 15, 1917, during the rapid expansion of the Army for World War I. Initially organized at Chickamauga Park, Georgia, the unit served as part of the 6th Division, training and preparing troops for overseas deployment. Although the regiment did not see combat during World War I, it was inactivated after the conflict and later reactivated for service in World War II, serving as a training unit. Over the years, the 54th Infantry has undergone several reorganizations, with its lineage continuing in modern Army training units, most notably as the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, 54th Infantry Regiment at Fort Moore, Georgia.
