The 415th Regiment is a regiment of the United States Army Reserve. Established 24 June 1921 as the 415th Infantry, part of the Organized Reserves, it was attached to the 104th Infantry Division. The regiment was originally headquartered in Casper, Wyoming. Ordered into active service on 15 September 1942, the regiment saw service during World War II with campaign participation credit in Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe.

Inactivated during post-World War II demobilization, the regiment was reactivated 12 June 1947 as part of the Organized Reserves and headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. Since 1947, the regiment has undergone reorganization and its headquarters have moved, with the current headquarters being at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. The regiment is still part of the 104th Infantry Division, which is now a training division for the United States Army Reserve. Most recently, the regiment has served in support of the Global War on Terror.
