11th Infantry Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 11th Infantry Regiment, originally constituted in 1812, was an active component of the U.S. Army during World War II. Assigned to the 5th Infantry Division, the regiment was reactivated on 16 October 1939 at Fort McClellan, Alabama. During the war, the 11th Infantry Regiment participated in major campaigns in the European Theater, including the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe campaigns. The regiment distinguished itself in combat, advancing through France, Luxembourg, and Germany. Following the end of hostilities, the regiment was inactivated on 20 September 1946 at Camp Campbell, Kentucky. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) The 11th Infantry Regiment was reactivated on 15 July 1947 at Fort Ord, California, as part of the postwar Army reorganization. During the Korean War era, the regiment served primarily in a training and readiness capacity within the United States and did not deploy as a regimental unit to Korea. The regiment continued to support Army training missions and contributed to the development of infantry tactics during this period. 1958–1980 (Cold War / Vietnam Era) In 1957, the 11th Infantry Regiment was reorganized under the Combat Arms Regimental System. Elements of the regiment served as training units at Fort Benning, Georgia, where they played a significant role in preparing new infantry soldiers and officers for service during the Vietnam War and throughout the Cold War. The regiment’s battalions were instrumental in the development and instruction of infantry doctrine and tactics. 1980–Present (Post-Vietnam / GWOT) The 11th Infantry Regiment continues to serve as a key training unit at Fort Benning (now Fort Moore), Georgia. Its battalions are responsible for conducting the Infantry Officer Basic Course and other advanced infantry training programs. The regiment’s legacy is maintained through its ongoing role in shaping the leadership and skills of the U.S. Army’s infantry forces.
