Organized at Camp Meade, Maryland, the regiment deployed to France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces. The 313th participated in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, one of the largest operations of the war, and earned distinction for its actions. Following the Armistice, the regiment returned to the United States and was demobilized in June 1919 at Camp Dix, New Jersey. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 313th Infantry Regiment was reactivated on 15 June 1942 at Camp Pickett, Virginia, as part of the 79th Infantry Division.

The 313th fought in several major campaigns, including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. The regiment played a significant role in the liberation of France and the advance into Germany. Following the end of hostilities, the 313th was inactivated on 11 December 1945 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey.
