 | | In this system, adopted in 1957 under the Combat Arms Regimental System, or CARS, regiments are simply there to preserve units' lineage, and few regiments actually are complete organizations. |
 | | The few remaining complete regiments, which actually retain the designation "regiment", are the Armored Cavalry Regiments, the 3d Infantry Regiment, and the 75th Ranger Regiment. |
 | | Before then, it used the traditional regimental system, where regiments were actual combat units. |
