The regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves on 24 June 1921 and assigned to the Eighth Corps Area. It was later redesignated as the 360th Engineer General Service Regiment and activated for service during World War II, where it played a significant role in construction and engineering operations in various theaters. The regiment was inactivated after the war and has since undergone several reorganizations and redesignations as part of the U.S. Army Reserve. Sources: GlobalSecurity.org.
