119th Infantry Regiment (U.S. Army) Accent Coffee Mug

The 119th Infantry Regiment is a unit of the United States Army, falling under the umbrella of the U.S. Army National Guard. It was first constituted on June 28, 1916, during World War I mobilization preparations and organized at New York City later that year. The regiment's lineage is unique as it can trace its roots to both the National Guard and the federal Regular Army. The 119th Infantry Regiment participated in various conflicts throughout history, including World War I, where it served with distinction on the Western Front. It was deactivated shortly after the war's end but reorganized during the Second World War. The regiment saw action again in Europe during this conflict, primarily in the Ardennes and Rhineland campaigns. Post-World War II, the 119th Infantry Regiment has been involved in several military operations, such as the Korean War, where it was assigned to the 28th Infantry Division, and Vietnam War under the 42nd Infantry Division. Today, the regiment continues its duty as part of the U.S. Army National Guard, providing support to state and federal missions when called upon.
