Unit History
45th Infantry Regiment
1940–1947 (World War II)
The 45th Infantry Regiment was constituted on 1 May 1917 in the Regular Army and organized at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. During World War II, the regiment was assigned to the 18th Infantry Division but did not see overseas combat as a unit. Instead, it served primarily as a training and replacement regiment within the United States, preparing soldiers for deployment to combat units abroad. The regiment was inactivated on 31 July 1945 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, following the end of hostilities.
