The 103rd Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United States Army that served in combat in the American Civil War, World War I, and World War II. It was an Army National Guard regiment from the states making up New England, but most of its soldiers came from Maine. It was a part of the 26th Infantry Division and the 43rd Infantry Division. During the Cold War, the regiment was converted into an armored regiment, and its lineage is presently perpetuated by an engineer battalion in the Maine Army National Guard.
