After the war, the 31st Infantry Regiment remained in Korea until the Army reorganized all infantry regiments into battle groups in 1957. The 1st Battle Group 31st Infantry, representing the only regiment that had never served in the continental United States, remained in Korea with the 7th Infantry Division. In 1958, the 2d Battle Group 31st Infantry was formed at [[Fort Rucker]], Alabama, planting the proud regiment's flag on the U.S. homeland for the first time in its history.  In 1964, the 2d Battle Group was reorganized as the 5th Battalion 31st Infantry which was transferred to Ft. Benning, Georgia in 1967 and reassigned to the 197th Infantry Brigade. The 5th Battalion was inactivated at Ft. Benning in 1971.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.31stinfantry.org/history/shoulder-patches/|title=Shoulder Patches|website=The 31st Infantry Regiment Association|language=en-US|access-date=2016-05-20|archive-date=4 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160504065251/http://www.31stinfantry.org/history/shoulder-patches/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
