The 337th Infantry Regiment was a National Army Infantry Regiment first organized for service in World War I as part of the 85th Infantry Division in Europe. It later served in the Mediterranean Theater during World War II. Since then it has served as a training Regiment, training Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers for service in support of the Global War on Terror.

The Regiment was constituted 5 August 1917 in the National Army as the 337th Infantry and assigned to the 169th Infantry Brigade of the 85th Division. It was organized at Camp Custer, Michigan, on 30 August 1917. In August 1917, the Regiment was organized with 3,755 Officers and enlisted men:

The Doughboys of the Regiment deployed to France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces and were billeted in the cities of Nevers and Cosne. The Regiment didn't participate in any named campaigns during the war; its Infantrymen were used as individual replacements to the fighting Divisions. After completing its war service in France it arrived at the port of New York on 2 April 1919 on the U.S.S. Leviathan and demobilized at Camp Custer on 23 April 1919.
