The 228th Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United States Army, Illinois Army National Guard. It existed as a part of the 33rd Infantry Division from 1947-1952, during the early Cold War and Korean War. The regiment's most notable commander was Colonel Otto L. McBride, who commanded for almost the entirety of the regiment's brief existence. The 228th was made up of recruits from West Side, Chicago, and the western and northwestern parts of "Chicagoland," and trained often at Camp Grayling.
