Unit History
206th Infantry Regiment
1940–1947 (World War II)
The 206th Infantry Regiment, originally part of the Arkansas National Guard, was inducted into federal service on 6 January 1941. Initially assigned to the 39th Infantry Division, the regiment was later detached and served as a separate unit. During World War II, the 206th Infantry was primarily tasked with coastal defense duties along the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the protection of key installations and infrastructure. The regiment did not deploy overseas but played a vital role in homeland security during the war. Following the end of hostilities, the 206th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 1 January 1946.
