It has seen service in conflicts such as the Korean War, where it earned the Presidential Unit Citation and three campaign streamers, and the Vietnam War.

The 65th Infantry Regiment continues to serve the United States Army, maintaining its rich history and cultural traditions while contributing to various military operations both at home and abroad.
