331st Infantry Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 331st Infantry Regiment was constituted on 5 August 1917 in the National Army and assigned to the 83rd Division. It was organized at Camp Sherman, Ohio, and served in France during World War I, primarily as a replacement and training unit. The regiment was demobilized in 1919 following the end of the war. Reactivated for World War II, the 331st Infantry Regiment was assigned again to the 83rd Infantry Division and activated on 15 August 1942 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. The regiment deployed to the European Theater, landing in Normandy in June 1944 shortly after D-Day. It participated in major campaigns including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. The 331st Infantry was noted for its rapid advances and heavy combat, particularly during the Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the Elbe River. The regiment was inactivated on 5 April 1946 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, following the end of hostilities in Europe.
