13th Infantry Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 13th Infantry Regiment, originally constituted in 1861, was assigned to the 8th Infantry Division during World War II. The regiment was activated at Camp Forrest, Tennessee, and participated in the European Theater of Operations. It landed in France in July 1944 and took part in the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe, and Ardennes-Alsace campaigns. The regiment advanced through France, Belgium, and Germany, contributing to the liberation of Europe. Following the end of hostilities, the 13th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 20 October 1945 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) The regiment was reactivated during the early Cold War period and assigned to training duties at Fort Carson, Colorado, and later at Fort Riley, Kansas. During this era, the 13th Infantry Regiment primarily served as a training and demonstration unit, preparing new soldiers for service during the Korean War and the broader Cold War period. The regiment was inactivated again in 1957 as part of Army reorganization.
