The 159th Infantry Regiment was originally constituted in the California National Guard and inducted into federal service on 3 March 1941. Initially assigned to the 40th Infantry Division, the regiment was later detached and served independently. During World War II, the 159th Infantry deployed to the Aleutian Islands, participating in the campaign to recapture Attu from Japanese forces. Following its service in Alaska, the regiment was reassigned to the European Theater, where it joined the 106th Infantry Division in late 1944. The 159th Infantry participated in the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns before being inactivated on 6 October 1945 at Camp Shanks, New York.
