The regiment was organized in 1917 from the Fourth Infantry as shown on the distinctive unit insignia; the field is blue for Infantry; the regiment served in France in the Fourth Division, shown by the ivy leaves from the shoulder sleeve insignia; the torpedo commemorates the first losses of the regiment when the troopship RMS Moldavia carrying some of the regiment was torpedoed on 23 May 1918; the broken chevron commemorates the piercing of the German line between Soissons and Rheims, which are represented by the silver and golden fleurs-de-lis taken from the coat of arms of those cities, respectively.

Starting in 1962, the 1st Battalion, 58th Infantry served with the 197th Infantry Brigade at Fort Moore (Formerly Fort Benning), while the separate Companies D, E, and F served for varying periods in Vietnam, from 1966 to 1972, under the 93d MP Battalion, the 4th Infantry Division, and the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), respectively.
