The 74th Infantry Regiment was a provisional unit activated and organized in Negros in the Philippines during World War II after all units of the 71st Infantry Division were transferred to Luzon and Mindanao. It was comprised mostly of reserve ROTC cadets and recruits on Negros. It was activated by Headquarters, Philippine Army, in December 1941.[1]
