106th Regiment Armory
Bedford Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11210
Opened: January 1, 1890
The Brooklyn-based City Guard Reserve was mustered into State Service as the 23rd New York State Militia, on January 6, 1862. They participated in the Gettysburg Campaign the following year. Upon their return, the regiment assisted State authorities in quelling the Draft Riots. Call-ups for further riot duty and to protect key infrastructure, during several railroad strikes, followed over the next few decades. In July 1916, the 23rd joined a large force sent to the Mexican border to prevent incursions by forces fighting in that country's civil war. They returned in January 1917, only to be mustered into Federal service, a few months later, to fight in the First World War. Initially guarding public property like the Croton Aqueduct, the regiment was then sent to Camp Wadsworth, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to prepare for deployment overseas. Re-designated the 106th, they joined the 105th, 107th and 108th Infantries of New York's Own 27th Division. The 106th took part in the 1918 battles of Flanders, Ypres-Lys and in the Somme Offensive, being the first American regiment to fight in Belgium. After the war, the regiment reverted back to State service. In September 1940, the 106th Regiment was disbanded-its 1st Battalion became the 186th Field Artillery Regiment and the 2nd the 101st Military Police Battalion.
