A US Infantry Regiment of WWII, such as the 34th Infantry, had about 3200 men at full strength. There was a Regimental HQ and a HQ Company, a Cannon Company with 105MM howitzers, a service company, an intelligence and reconnaissance platoon, quartermaster and armorer detachments, besides its three main combat elements, which were three rifle battalions (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd). Each rifle battalion had about 850 men at full strength.
I'd guess there were probably somewhere between 10-15,000 men who served in the 34th Infantry at some time during the war. Continual replacements were required for men killed, wounded, evacuated for illness or accidents.

What is the meaning of regiment?
A regiment is a military organization under one commander and its size and importance varied over the years and between countries and types of armies. The word derived from an early Middle English word and Latin. An American Regiment in WW2 consisted of 3 battalions of four Companies(250 men) in each battalion. There were three Regiments in an Infantry Division. During the American Civil War, the Regiment was the main unit that a soldier was identified with. For example, the 56th Ohio Regiment. This regiment contained 10 companies of 100 men each or originally 1000 men. But many were smaller especially after casualties.
How many troops in a confederate regiment?
On paper, an infantry regiment consisted of 10 Companies with 100 men in each for a total of 1000 men. This was a typical size of Union regiments when they were first formed and mustered into service. The Confederate regiments were not quite that size. Many didn't get to be that size as they were rushed into service. After the regiment went off to war, they began to lose men in combat. The regiment was trimmed down even smaller. It was common for a Confederate infantry company to be 40 men. It was common for Confederate regiments to be as small as 250 men during the last 2 years of the war. When the regiment experienced high loss of soldiers and officers, the regiment would be merged or "consolidated" with another regiment. Sometimes it was difficult to know this as they continued to be organized along their old regiment. Thus the 29th Mississippi Regiment and the 30th Mississippi Regiment in General Walthall's Brigade were merged into the 29th/30th Mississippi Regiment soon after the Battle of Missionary Ridge.
