Established on June 20, 1917, during World War I as part of the National Army, it has since seen service in various conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The regiment is composed of multiple battalions, each based in a different state across the United States. Notably, the 179th Infantry Regiment is associated with the Puerto Rican National Guard due to its historical roots in the Puerto Rico Maneuver Area.
