    On 19 June 1916, the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of Infantry were mustered into service during the Pancho Villa Expedition. The 3rd Regiment was mustered out on 27 March 1917, but the 2nd Regiment was not; after American entry into World War I on 6 April 1917, the 3rd Regiment of Infantry was called back into federal service on 25 July 1917 and drafted into federal service on 5 August 1917. On 12 September 1917, the 2nd Regiment was redesignated the 119th Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Regiment as the 120th Infantry Regiment, and they were assigned to the 30th Division. The 30th Division participated in the Second Battle of the Somme and the Second Battle of the Lys. The 30th Division was demobilized on 17 April 1919 at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. In 1919–1921, the 119th and 120th Infantry Regiments were consolidated into the 1st Infantry Regiment, North Carolina National Guard, with headquarters federally organized 2 May 1921 at Raleigh. On 8 November 1921, the 1st Infantry Regiment was redesignated the 120th Infantry Regiment and assigned to the 30th Division.

    On 16 November 1940, the 30th Division was inducted into federal service. On 22 November 1941, the 121st Infantry was relieved from the division and assigned to the 8th Infantry Division, a Regular Army division that had lost two of its regiments to other duties. When the 30th Division was converted from a "square" to a "triangular" division in 1942, it also lost the 118th Infantry Regiment. To return the division to three regiments, the 119th Infantry Regiment was reconstituted in the North Carolina National Guard on 24 August 1942, activated on 7 September 1942 at Fort Jackson, and assigned to the 30th Infantry Division. The 119th Infantry would fight with the 30th Division in Europe in 1944–1945 in the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe campaigns. The 30th Infantry Division was inactivated on 24 November 1945 at Fort Jackson.

    On 8 July 1947, elements of the 119th Infantry and the 1st and 3rd Battalions, 120th Infantry were consolidated, reorganized, and federally recognized in eastern North Carolina as the 119th Infantry Regiment. On 28 October 1954, the regiment, less those elements from central North Carolina, were organized to include the former 167th Military Police Battalion as the 1st Battalion. Elements of the regiment from central North Carolina were consolidated with elements of the 120th Infantry Regiment located in central North Carolina to form the new 139th Infantry Regiment. On 1 April 1959, the 119th Infantry Regiment was reorganized under the Combat Arms Regimental System and the Pentomic concept to consist of the 1st and 2nd Battle Groups, elements of the 30th Infantry Division. On 10 March 1963, the 1st and 2nd Battle Groups, 119th Infantry, were reorganized as the 4th, 5th, and 6th Battalions, 119th Infantry, elements of the 30th Infantry Division. On 1 January 1968, the regiment was reorganized to consist of the 1st Battalion, an element of the 30th Infantry Division. In 1974, the 30th Infantry Division was inactivated, and the brigade in North Carolina became the 30th Infantry Brigade (Mechanized) (Separate), what is now known as the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team.


    = Recent history

    The 1st Battalion, 119th Infantry was nicknamed the "Swamp Dragon Battalion" due to the nature of the terrain in its home area of eastern North Carolina. By the early 2000s Company A was located at Roanoke Rapids. The battalion was alerted for deployment in March 2003 and went to Iraq with the brigade.

    Distinctive unit insignia


    Description
    A Silver color and metal enamel device 1+3⁄16 inches (3.0 cm) in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned: Per fess Azure and Argent, upon a mound in base Vert a lion rampant passant counterchanged, eyed, langued and armed Gules. Attached below and to the sides of the shield is a Silver scroll turned Blue inscribed "UNDAUNTED" in Blue letters.

    Symbolism
    The blue is the color of the Infantry. The functions of the organization are allegorically implied by the ferocious lion, heraldically being the lively image of a good soldier who must be valiant of courage, strong of body and a foe to fear. The motto alludes to the symbolism of the shield and is expressive of the characteristics of the personnel.

    Background
    The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 4 February 1943. It was amended to change the description on 29 March 1953.
