The 387th Infantry Regiment was constituted on 23 December 1942 in the Army of the United States and assigned to the 97th Infantry Division. It was activated on 25 February 1943 at Camp Swift, Texas. Initially, the division trained for deployment to the Pacific Theater, but in early 1945, it was redirected to the European Theater of Operations. The 387th Infantry landed in France in March 1945 and participated in the final campaigns of World War II, including operations in Germany and Czechoslovakia. Following the end of hostilities in Europe, the regiment was redeployed to the Pacific, arriving in Japan for occupation duty after the Japanese surrender. The 387th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 31 March 1946 in Japan.
