Are There "New Mexican Regiments"? Not Currently

No Known Active "New Mexican Regiments"

As of 2024, there are no military units officially designated as "New Mexican Regiments" in any national armed force.

Historical Context

  • Mexican–American War (1846–48): U.S. raised volunteer regiments from the New Mexico Territory (e.g., 1st New Mexico Volunteer Infantry).
  • U.S. Civil War: New Mexico Territory units fought for the Union (e.g., at Glorieta Pass).
  • Mexican Army: Historical regiments named for regions (e.g., Regimiento de Nuevo México) existed in the 19th century but were reorganized long ago.

Modern Mexican Army

Today's Mexican Army uses brigades, battalions, and specialized groups (e.g., Brigada de Fusileros Paracaidistas, Fuerzas Especiales), not the colonial-era "regiment" nomenclature for line units.

If you have a specific historical period, conflict, or country in mind, please clarify for a targeted answer.
