164th Infantry Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 164th Infantry Regiment was originally part of the North Dakota National Guard and was inducted into federal service on 10 February 1941. Assigned to the Americal Division, the regiment gained distinction as the first U.S. Army unit to land on Guadalcanal, arriving in October 1942 to reinforce embattled Marine forces. The 164th played a critical role in the defense of Henderson Field and participated in intense combat during the Guadalcanal Campaign, earning the nickname “The 164th Marines” from their Marine counterparts. Following Guadalcanal, the regiment continued to serve in the Pacific Theater, participating in operations on Bougainville and in the liberation of the Philippines. The 164th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 24 November 1945 at Fort Lawton, Washington, following the end of World War II.
