The 390th Infantry Regiment was constituted on 23 July 1918 in the National Army and assigned to the 98th Division. It was organized in August 1918 at Camp McClellan, Alabama. The regiment was demobilized on 30 November 1918 following the end of World War I. It was reconstituted on 24 June 1921 in the Organized Reserves and assigned again to the 98th Division, with headquarters at Buffalo, New York. During World War II, the 390th Infantry Regiment was ordered into active military service on 15 September 1942 and reorganized at Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky. The regiment participated in the defense of the Hawaiian Islands and was inactivated on 16 February 1946 at Camp Rucker, Alabama. It was later reactivated in the Army Reserve and has since served primarily as a training unit.
