110th Infantry Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 110th Infantry Regiment traces its origins to the Pennsylvania National Guard and was organized in 1917 from existing units as part of the 28th Division. The regiment was federalized for service in World War I, deploying to France with the American Expeditionary Forces. The 110th Infantry participated in major campaigns including the Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, Oise-Aisne, Meuse-Argonne, and Champagne 1918 offensives. The regiment distinguished itself in combat, suffering heavy casualties during the Second Battle of the Marne and subsequent operations. Following the Armistice, the regiment returned to the United States and was demobilized in 1919. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) Reorganized in the Pennsylvania National Guard, the 110th Infantry Regiment resumed its peacetime duties with headquarters in Washington, Pennsylvania. During the interwar years, the regiment participated in annual training and maintained readiness as part of the 28th Division, earning a reputation for professionalism and community service. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 110th Infantry Regiment was inducted into federal service on 17 February 1941 as part of the 28th Infantry Division. After training in the United States and England, the regiment landed in France following the Normandy invasion. The 110th Infantry played a significant role in the liberation of Paris and fought in the Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge, where it faced intense German attacks during the Ardennes Offensive. The regiment continued its advance into Germany, participating in the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns. Following the end of hostilities, the regiment was inactivated in 1945. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) After World War II, the 110th Infantry Regiment was reorganized and federally recognized in the Pennsylvania National Guard. During the Korean War era, the regiment remained stateside, focusing on training and readiness missions as part of the 28th Infantry Division. 1958–1980 (Cold War / Vietnam Era) The regiment underwent further reorganization under the Combat Arms Regimental System, with its lineage and honors perpetuated by battalions within the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. The 110th Infantry continued to support both state and federal missions throughout the Cold War and Vietnam era. 1980–Present (Post-Vietnam / GWOT) The 110th Infantry Regiment’s lineage continues through its successor battalions in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Elements of the regiment have been mobilized for domestic emergencies and overseas deployments, including service in the Global War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they earned additional campaign participation credit.
