The regiment did not see combat as a unit during the war and was demobilized on 14 January 1919 at Camp Wheeler. The 123rd Infantry Regiment was later reconstituted in the National Guard and assigned to various divisions over the years, reflecting the evolving structure of the U.S. Army. The unit has a history of federal service activations and inactivations, with its lineage carried on by successor units in the National Guard.
